feat(examples): Actually solve K*u=f and show solution

Enhanced academic_example.jl to compute actual solution:
- Construct explicit 5×5 Laplacian system (tridiagonal stiffness matrix)
- Solve K * u = f directly to get solution vector
- Verify solution with residual check (||K*u - f|| < 1e-15)
- Display solution: u = [-2.5, -4.0, -4.5, -4.0, -2.5]

This fully demonstrates Issue #183 requirement (c): extract matrices
and get solution vector for use with external solvers.

Added imports: LinearAlgebra, SparseArrays
Changes: 211 lines → 256 lines (actual working solver)
