  First Steps in Numerical Analysis
The Gauss elimination method is a more general and efficient direct procedure for solving systems of linear equations.
In Gauss elimination, the given system of equations is transformed into an equivalent system which has upper triangular form; this new form can be solved easily by a process called back-substitutior.
We will now describe the application of the elimination process to a general n x n linear system, written in general notation, which is suitable for implementation on a computer (Pseudo-code).

  Kids.Net.Au - Encyclopedia > Gauss elimination method
Gauss-Jordan elimination is an algorithm in linear algebra for determining the solutions of a system of linear equations, for determining the rank of a matrix, and for calculating the inverse of an invertible square matrix.
The method is named after the mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss and the surveyor Wilhelm Jordan[?], but the method is described by Liu Hui's comments written in 263 A.D. to the Chinese book Jiuzhang suanshu or The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art.
The strategy is as follows: eliminate x1 from all but the first equation, eliminate x2 from all but the second equation, and then eliminate x3 from all but the third equation.

  PlanetMath: row reduction
A sequence of elementary row operations is then applied to this matrix so as to transform it to row echelon form.
In this variation we reduce to echelon form, and then if the system proves to be consistent, continue to apply the elementary row operations until the augmented matrix is in reduced echelon form.
In essence, Gauss-Jordan elimination performs the back substitution; the values of the unknowns can be read off directly from the terminal augmented matrix.

 Problem H - Numerical Methods! A Satire
While asking some one to solve something manually ensures that he understands the method as a human being, it does not ensure that he understands it as a programmer.
That is why it is easy to find people with good grades in numerical methods who are unable to solve any problems related to it by writing a program.
Samuel is now teaching the numerical method course and to make the non-programmer students suffer he asks them to find out the 6-th divided difference and attach a print out of it with the exam paper.

Gauss was married for a second time the next year, to Minna the best friend of Johanna, and although they had three children, this marriage seemed to be one of convenience for Gauss.
Gauss (who was a prodigious calculator) told a friend that whenever he had a spare 15 minutes he would spend it in counting the primes in a 'chiliad' (a range of 1000 numbers).
Gauss, further, perfected the systematic fitting of regression formulae, simple and multiple, by the method of least squares, which, in the cases to which it is appropriate, is a particular example of the method of maximum likelihood.

 Mathematical Methods (10/24.539) Numerical Solution of Algebraic Equations Introduction
All the direct methods are, in some sense, based on the standard Gauss Elimination technique, which systematically applies row operations to transform the original system of equations into a form that is easier to solve.
In particular, this section of notes overviews an algorithm for implementation of the basic Gauss Elimination scheme and it also highlights the LU Decomposition method which, although functionally equivalent to the Gauss Elimination method, does provide some additional flexibility for computer implementation.
Thus, the LU decomposition method is often the preferred direct solution method for low to medium sized systems (usually less than 200-300 equations).

 Gauss-Jordan Elimination
In Gauss-Jordan Elimination, the goal is to transform the coefficient matrix into a diagonal matrix, and the zeros are introduced into the matrix one column at a time.
We work to eliminate the elements both above and below the diagonal element of a given column in one pass through the matrix.
However, we will show later that Gauss-Jordan elimination involves slightly more work than does Gaussian elimination, and thus it is not the method of choice for solving systems of linear equations on a computer.

This section, however, describes several well-known solution methods first in order to know which method has the quickest algorithm for obtaining the solution to the FEM system equation.
The solution method used is the Gauss-Seidel iterative method, which was known that it may be the simplest solution method but slowest to obtain the solution to the system equation.
The greatest advantage of using the Gauss-Seidel method may be that the system matrix compressed from the sparse system matrix can be used, and that it has a very short algorithm.

 Gaussian Elimination - Gauss-Seidel Iterative Method - Free Computer Science Tutorials - Provided by Laynetworks.com
The purpose of the process of elimination is to eliminate the matrix entries below the main diagonal, using row operations, to obtain a upper triangular matrix with the augmented column.
Critical in the choice and use of iterative methods is the convergence of the technique.
The Gauss-Seidel method generally has better convergence than the Gauss-Jacobi method, although for dense matrices, the Gauss-Seidel method is inherently sequential.

Classical interval analysis method (such as Gauss elimination) usually overestimate largely the box including all the solutions in X as the dependency in P between the coefficients Aij, bk are not taken into account.
We have shown that using the monotonicity for improving the interval evaluations of the expressions used in the Gauss elimination scheme (by considering their derivatives with respect to P may allow to drastically improve the box for X. This algorithm has been incorporated into ALIAS and has been used for a robotics application.
Our main conclusion is that elimination methods offer an interesting alternative to more well-established methods for parallel robot calibration by satisfying the goals of accuracy and robustness.

 Gauss Elimination and LU Decomposition
Also of importance is the fact that with very minimal additional effort, the program for Gauss elimination can be enhanced to perform Lower-Upper matrix factorization (write any non-singular matrix as a product of a lower triangular and an upper triangular matrix).
For a standard Gauss elimination, the first question that we ask is: By what factor must I multiply the first equation so that I can subtract it from the second equation and eliminate the coefficient in column 1.
To do partial pivoting I start my Gauss Elimination by dividing the coefficients in column 1 by the coefficient in the corresponding row with the maximum absolute value.

 Rank (linear algebra) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The easiest way to compute the rank of a matrix A is given by the Gauss elimination method.
When applied to floating point computations on computers, basic Gaussian elimination (LU decomposition) can be unreliable, and a rank revealing decomposition should be used instead.
Numerical determination of rank requires a criterion for deciding when a value, such as a singular value from the SVD, should be treated as zero, a practical choice which depends on both the matrix and the application.
