https://engineering.jhu.edu/magazine-archive/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/72_Jacobi-cropped1.jpg291194The 169-year-old math strategy called the Jacobi iterative method is widely dismissed today as too slow to be useful. But thanks to graduate student Xiang Yang and mechanical engineering professor Rajat Mittal, it may soon get a new lease on life. With a few tweaks, the duo says they’ve made the rarely used Jacobi method...
