GAUSSIAN ELIMINATION METHOD (GEM)

Question 1

(also known as row reduction) is an algorithm for solving systems of linear equations. It is usually understood as a sequence of operations performed on the corresponding matrix of coefficients.

Answer 1

Gaussian elimination

Question 2

Gaussian elimination is named after

Answer 2

Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777–1855)

Question 3

Gaussian elimination was known to _________ mathematicians as early as ________.

Answer 3

Chinese, 179 CE

Question 4

In this method, we are going to transform the coefficient matrix to either an upper triangular or lower triangular matrix with its diagonal elements all ones, through row elimination/modification.
