Gaussian Elimination

Geometry and algebra of linear maps, vectors, and matrices

Gaussian elimination is the systematic algorithm for solving Ax = b by hand or by machine. The idea: use simple row operations to carve the system into a staircase (echelon) form, then read the answer off by working backwards.
