Iterative Solver Visualizer

Iterative Solver Visualizer is a free, interactive learning demo from the Numerical Analysis and Computational Methods course on Lykke. It helps you build intuition for Jacobi Method, Gauss-Seidel Method, Convergence Criteria, Sparse Matrices. Play with it directly in your browser — it features 6 numeric inputs, 4 buttons, direct drag interaction and a live visual canvas. This demo lives in the “Iterative Methods for Linear Systems” section of the course.

How to use this demo

  1. Click and drag directly on the canvas to manipulate the scene.
  2. Use the “Jacobi”, “Gauss-Seidel”, “Step”, “Reset” buttons to trigger actions or reset the demo.
  3. Experiment freely — there's nothing to break, and every change is reversible.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Iterative Solver Visualizer demo do?

Alternative approaches for solving very large or sparse linear systems where direct methods are computationally expensive. Iterative Solver Visualizer turns that idea into something you can manipulate directly and watch respond.

What Numerical Analysis and Computational Methods concept does Iterative Solver Visualizer teach?

Alternative approaches for solving very large or sparse linear systems where direct methods are computationally expensive. It focuses on Jacobi Method, Gauss-Seidel Method, Convergence Criteria, Sparse Matrices from the “Iterative Methods for Linear Systems” section.

What can I control in Iterative Solver Visualizer?

You can drag elements directly on the canvas; the “Jacobi”, “Gauss-Seidel”, “Step”, “Reset” buttons run actions or reset the demo. Every change updates the visualization in real time, so you can see exactly how each variable affects the outcome.

How does Iterative Solver Visualizer fit into the Numerical Analysis and Computational Methods course?

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the development, analysis, and implementation of algorithms for solving mathematical problems numerically. It covers essential topics such as error analysis, root-fin… This demo is the interactive piece for the “Iterative Methods for Linear Systems” section.

What will I understand better after using Iterative Solver Visualizer?

You'll build intuition for Jacobi Method, Gauss-Seidel Method, Convergence Criteria, Sparse Matrices — and, crucially, see how they behave when you change the inputs, which is hard to get from a textbook or lecture on Numerical Analysis and Computational Methods alone.
