1.7.3. Model.

The model in both these applications is an algebraic system. Not all algebraic systems have this problem, and there is a way of identify many of the matrices that generate significant computing errors. In Maple the procedure called cond for condition number of a matrix can help identify these matrices. The procedure cond returns a positive real number that attempts the measure ill-conditioned matrices.
