Indeterminate system

ID: indeterminate-system

An indeterminate system, also known as an underdetermined system in some contexts, refers to a situation in various fields—such as mathematics, physics, and engineering—where the number of equations is less than the number of unknown variables. This leads to a scenario where there are infinitely many solutions or no solutions at all, depending on the relationships between the equations and the variables. ### In Mathematics: In linear algebra, a system of equations is indeterminate when it has more variables than equations.
