    Linear Algebra : Use Network Analysis to Determine Number of Traffic Sensors

    A traffic engineer wants to know whether measurements of traffic flow entering and leaving a road network are sufficient to predict the traffic flow on each street in the network. Consider the network of one-way streets shown in the Figure 3. The numbers in the figure give the measured traffic flows in vehicles per hour. Assume

    Linear Algebra : Solving for Temperatures of Points on a Flat Square Plate

    The concept of thermal resistance described in Problem 5 can be used to find the temperature distribution in the flat square plate shown in Figure 5(a).
