The paper is an elementary introduction to exact and approximate methods of finding quasi-solutions to incompatible systems of linear algebraic equations. The least-squares method, the regularization, and the method of orthogonal projection are discussed. The article is based on a lecture given by the author for secondary school teachers in the framework of the ``International Soros Science Educational Program and is aimed at presenting contemporary developments in mathematics on an elementary level understandable for secondary school teachers and pupils.
