Successive over-relaxation

Okay, so you know when you have to solve a really big math problem, like adding up a lot of numbers or multiplying big numbers together? It can take a really long time to do it all at once, right?

Well, sometimes there are tricks you can use to solve the problem faster. One of those tricks is called "successive over-relaxation".

Think of it like trying to solve a maze. You start at one end, and you have to find your way to the other end. But let's say you're allowed to take bigger steps than normal, and you can jump over some obstacles if you need to. That's kind of like what successive over-relaxation does - it allows you to move faster through the problem you're trying to solve.

Specifically, in math problems, it can help you solve equations more quickly. Instead of just doing one step at a time, you make bigger jumps and use information from previous steps to help you get to the answer faster. It's like you have a head start on the problem because you already know some of the answers.

So, it's a special technique that uses previous answers to quickly solve big problems. Kind of like jumping over obstacles to get out of a maze faster.
