Echelon Forms
1.2 Echelon Forms
Definition Reduction Solution Theorem
Echelon Form (or Row Echelon Form) 1 All nonzero rows are above any rows of all zeros. 2 Each leading entry (i.e. left most nonzero entry) of a row is in a column to the right of the leading entry of the row above it. 3 All entries in a column below a leading entry are zero.

Reduced Echelon Form
Definition Reduction Solution Theorem
Reduced Echelon Form Add the following conditions to conditions 1, 2, and 3 above:
4. The leading entry in each nonzero row is 1. 5. Each leading 1 is the only nonzero entry in its column.

Definition Reduction Solution Theorem
Important Terms
pivot position: a position of a leading entry in an echelon form of the matrix. pivot: a nonzero number that either is used in a pivot position to create 0's or is changed into a leading 1, which in turn is used to create 0's. pivot column: a column that contains a pivot position.
