== Linear equations are those that use only linear functions and operations. Examples of linearity: differentiation, integration, addition, subtraction, logarithms, multiplication or division by a constant, etc. Examples of non-linearity: trigonometric functions (sin, cos, tan, etc.), multiplication or division by variables.

How does the bisection method work when solving nonlinear equations?
it works exactly the same as it does with linear equations, you don't need to do any differentiation or anything fancy with this method, just have to plug in values of x, so it shouldn't make a difference if the equation is linear or nonlinear.
What is the difference between linear and non linear problems?
Nonlinear do not satisfy the superposition principle. Linear problems, as implied, do.
What is difference between linear and nonlinear dynamics in mathematics and physics?
In linear dynamic systems, the motion traces out an orbit or trajectory in phase space that's a looping curve, mathematically predictable. In nonlinear systems the trajectory in phase space may be a fractal structure, leading to motion that is inherently unpredictable (chaos) from its equations of motion.
What is difference between linear and nonlinear control system?
linear system is like a chemistry equation or math equation where on both sides it must balance. Nonlinear is a math equation or physics that does not appear to have a direct answer just like chaos theory. lulu254ever
What is numerical solutions of nonlinear equations?
Linear equations, if they have a solution, can be solved analytically. On the other hand, it may not always be possible to find a solution to nonlinear equations. This is where you use various numerical methods (eg Newton-Raphson) to work from one approximate numerical solution to a better solution. This iterative procedure, if properly applied, gives accurate numerical solutions to nonlinear equations. But as mentioned above, they are not arrived at analytically.
