| Description |
Reduces any matrix into echelon or reduced echelon form. Echelon form has all nonzero rows above any rows of all zeros, each leading entry of a row in a column to the right of the leading entry of the row above it, zeros in all entries in a column below a leading entry, and one as the leading entry in each nonzero row. Reduced echelon form is the same except that it also as ha leading one as the only nonzero entry in its column. The matrix on the left is in echelon form and the matrix on the right is in reduced echelon form. Both were generated by this program using the matrix in the instructions. |
