3by3 Newton-Raphson Method
3by3 Newton-Raphson Method
(OP)
Hi, I'm writing a program in C that creates a simple model of the forces within a tow cable being pulled through the ocean by a ship. In my force analysis I have three non-linear equations with three unknows. To solve for these unknowns I would like to use the Newton-Raphson method. I've found a lot of information on the simple single unknown form, but haven't found much for solving three unknonows using a 3by3 matrix.
Do any of you know of any already made functions that I could use so that I eliminate the need to reinvent the wheel?
Thank you,

Look below in the references at the Numerical Recipes in C.
You can buy the source code or find it on line.
