Gaussian Elimination: Origins
Method illustrated in Chapter Eight of a Chinese text, The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art, that was written roughly two thousand years ago. Rediscovered in Europe by Isaac Newton (England) and Michel Rolle (France) Gauss called the method eliminiationem vulgarem ("common elimination") Gauss adapted the method for another problem (one we study soon) and developed notation.
Gaussian elimination: Uses
I Finding a basis for the span of given vectors. This additionally gives us an algorithm for rank and therefore for testing linear dependence.
I Solving a matrix equation,which is the same as expressing a given vector as a linear combination of other given vectors, which is the same as solving a system of linear equations
I Finding a basis for the null space of a matrix, which is the same as finding a basis for the solution set of a homogeneous linear system, which is also relevant to representing the solution set of a general linear system.

Note that
I the first nonzero entry in row 0 is in column 1,
I the first nonzero entry in row 1 is in column 2,
I the first nonzero entry in row 2 is in column 4, and
I the first nonzero entry in row 4 is in column 5.
Definition: An m n matrix A is in echelon form if it satisfies the following condition: for any row, if that row's first nonzero entry is in position k then every previous row's first nonzero entry is in some position less than k.
Echelon form
Definition: An m n matrix A is in echelon form if it satisfies the following condition: for any row, if that row's first nonzero entry is in position k then every previous row's first nonzero entry is in some position less than k.
This definition implies that, as you iterate through the rows of A, the first nonzero entries per row move strictly right, forming a sort of staircase that descends to the right.

Definition: An m n matrix A is in echelon form if it satisfies the following condition: for any row, if that row's first nonzero entry is in position k then any previous row's first nonzero entry is in some position less than k.
If a row of a matrix in echelon form is all zero then every subsequent row must also be
