Calling Sequence

eliminate (eqnset, varset)

Parameters

eqnset

-

set or list of equations

varset

-

variable, or set or list of variables to eliminate from the equations

Description

• 

eliminate eliminates the given variables from a set or list of equations.

• 

The result of this elimination is an expression sequence of lists.  Each list represents a possible elimination of the given variables.

• 

The first component of each solution is a set of equations, where the left-hand side of these equations is a variable (one of the variables in varset) and the right-hand side is its corresponding value.  The second component of each solution is the set of remaining equations once the varset have been eliminated.

Examples

Eliminate the variable x from a list of equations.
