Design and Development of a Web?Based Application for Solving Linear Physical Systems using Gauss-Seidel Iterative Method

S.T. Temaugee, W. Alvan

Abstract: This work focused on the design and development of a web-based application for numerical solution of physical systems using Gauss-Seidel iteration method. The work was limited to a system of three linear equations which is about the systems of equations mostly encountered when solving practical problems involving many physical systems. JavaScript, a web compatible program was used to develop the application. The application was tested using three systems of linear equations and it was seen to achieve, universality, accessibility, accuracy and speed. The application will serve as a tool that will help eliminate errors, since iterative processes are prone to errors and end up wasting time when performed with pen and paper. The work envisages computational Physics as a means of bringing back the attention of student to world of work and purposeful learning. This application will be an addition to database of the few existing web-based applications in the teaching and learning of Physics.
