 GaussianElimination
 perform Gaussian elimination on a Matrix
 ReducedRowEchelonForm
 perform Gauss-Jordan elimination on a Matrix

 Calling Sequence GaussianElimination(A) ReducedRowEchelonForm(A)

Parameters

 A - Matrix

Description

 • The GaussianElimination(A) command performs Gaussian elimination on the Matrix A and returns the upper triangular factor U with the same dimensions as A.
 This command is equivalent to calling LUDecomposition with the output=['U'] option.
 • The ReducedRowEchelonForm(A) command performs Gauss-Jordan elimination on the Matrix A and returns the unique reduced row echelon form R of A.
 This command is equivalent to calling LUDecomposition with the output=['R'] option.
