INTRODUCTION:
The Gauss-Seidel method is a improvisation of the
Jacobi method. This method is named after
mathematicians Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777–1855) and
Philipp L. Seidel (1821–1896). This modification often
results in higher degree of accuracy within fewer
iterations.
In Jacobi method the value of the variables is not
modified until next iteration, whereas in Gauss-Seidel
method the value of the variables are modified as
soon as new value is evaluated. For instance, in
Jacobi method the value of xi(k) is not modified until
the (k + 1)th iteration but in Gauss-Seidel method the
value of xi(k) changes in in kth iteration only.
 EXAMPLE:
Solve the system of equations using the Gauss-
Seidel Method
45x1 + 2x2 + 3x3 = 58
–3x1 + 22x2 + 2x3 = 47
5x1 + x2 + 20x3 = 67
Obtain the result correct to three decimal
places.
