Try solver System of linear algebraic equations in Shell Bash

I want to try solving system of linear algebraic equations in Shell bash but i have any problems Value input is matrix and I dont know how to input matrix in Shell because that is dont support 2-dimensional array Please help me. Thank you so much

you would better try to use awk/perl or another language, bash does not really support it and is hard to implement.

Suppose your matrix is 3x3. As a one-dimensional array this requires 9 cells. So you can compute the one-dimensional array cell corresponding to M[a, b] by M[a*3+b], e.g.

Code:

~ $ x=(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9)

~ $ a=2

~ $ b=2

~ $ echo ${x[$a*3+$b]}  # the 9th cell

9

~ $ a=0

~ $ b=1

~ $ echo ${x[$a*3+$b]}  # the 2nd cell

2

Another suggestion would be to use Python. It has lots of maths modules.

Or languages like MATLAB which are designed exactly for things such as this...

Abort now before you lose your sanity. Bash sucks at doing anything beside executing independent programs sequentially or tying together I/O streams. In particular, Bash does weird things with arrays that you will find harder to figure out than your original problem.
