The document discusses the Gauss-Seidel iterative method for solving systems of linear equations. It begins by describing how Gauss-Seidel improves upon the Jacobi method by using the most recently calculated values. An example applying Gauss-Seidel to a system of 4 equations is shown. The solution converges rapidly, requiring only 5 iterations versus 10 for Jacobi. Finally, the Gauss-Seidel method is expressed in matrix form.
