	PlanetMath: finite-dimensional linear problem
		The equation is called under-determined or over-determined depending on whether the former is greater than the latter, or vice versa.
		This is unfortunate, because the concept of a linear equation is much more general than the traditional notion of “variables and equations”, and relies in an essential way on the idea of a linear mapping.
		Polynomial interpolation is a linear problem, but one that is specified abstractly, rather than in terms of variables and equations.
