From the book

Chapter 5: Square Matrix and LU Decomposition. In the chapter mind map this icon labels Solving Linear Systems via Forward/Backward Substitution. The discussion below is excerpted and lightly edited from § Solving Linear Systems in Mathematics for AI and Machine Learning.

For the matrix $A$ in above example, solve $Ax = b$ for arbitrary $b$.

What this drawing shows

What you see. Matrix with nonzero entries on and above the main diagonal, used in back substitution and QR factors.

In the mind map. Chapter 5 — Solving Linear Systems via Forward/Backward Substitution. See From the book above for definitions, figures, and worked examples.
