Elimination method
The elimination method refers to solving systems of equations by strategically removing variables to simplify the problem. It's a foundational technique across mathematics, science, and logic.
Meanings
- Elimination method (algebra) — solving systems of linear equations by adding or subtracting equations to cancel variables
- Elimination method (logic) — narrowing possibilities by systematically ruling out options that contradict evidence
- Elimination method (biology) — the process by which organisms expel waste or toxins from their bodies
- Elimination method (optimization) — an algorithmic approach that progressively discards suboptimal solutions
