Historical Facts !

History about Linear Equations with two variables.

    • Around 4000 years ago, Babylon knew how to solve a simple linear equation with two variables.
    • Around 200 BC, the Chinese published that "Nine Chapters of the Mathematical Art," they displayed the ability to solve a system of equations in three variables (Perotti).
    • Evidence from about 300 BC indicates that the Egyptians also knew how to solve problems involving a system of two equations in two unknown quantities, including quadratic equations.
    • Euler brought to light the idea that a system of equations doesn't necessarily have to have a solution (Perotti). He recognized the need for conditions to be placed upon unknown variables in order to find a solution.
    • With the turn into the 19th century Gauss introduced a procedure to be used for solving a system of linear equations.
    • Cayley, Euler, Sylvester, and others changed linear systems into the use of matrices to represent them. Gauss brought his theory to solve systems of equations proving to be the most effective basis for solving unknowns.
