function X=gseid(A,B,P,delta, max1)

% Input  - A is an N x N nonsingular matrix
%        - B is an N x 1 matrix
%        - P is an N x 1 matrix; the initial guess
%	 - delta is the tolerance for P
%	 - max1 is the maximum number of iterations
% Output - X is an N x 1 matrix: the gauss-seidel approximation to
%	   the solution of AX = B
