 Gaussian elimination - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gaussian elimination is, however, a good method for systems of equations over a field where computations are exact, such as finite fields.
The strategy is as follows: eliminate x from all but the first equation, eliminate y from all but the second equation, and then eliminate z from all but the third equation.
This algorithm differs slightly from the one discussed earlier, because before eliminating a variable, it first exchanges rows to move the entry with the largest absolute value to the "pivot position".

 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.
Gauss-Jordan Elimination is a variant of Gaussian Elimination.
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.

While there are many methods for solving sets of simultaneous equations, one of the better ways of doing so is to set-up an augmented matrix based on the coefficients of your variables and then to perform Gauss Elimination or Gauss-Jordan Elimination.
The process of Gauss elimination involves a series of matrix operations that reduce an augmented matrix into simpler forms from which the solution set of a system of equations can be more easily determined.
Gauss elimination leaves a matrix in lower triangular form, with ones (1's) on the diagonal.

 Calculating Matrix Determinant Using Gauss-Jordan Elimination
Full Gauss-Jordan elimination requires both upper and lower triangles be zeroes.
This elimination comes into play due to the fact that if the elements in lower triangle of the matrix are all zeroes, the determinant is simply the product of the diagonals.
However, the full-fledged version of the elimination is not needed.

 PlanetMath: row reduction
In essence, Gauss-Jordan elimination performs the back substitution; the values of the unknowns can be read off directly from the terminal augmented matrix.
The row reduction algorithm (also commonly known as Gaussian elimination) is used to solve a system of linear equations
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.

 Gauss-Jordan Elimination
When Gauss-Jordan elimination is complete, the remaining diagonal matrix on the left is scaled to produce an identity matrix, at which point the matrix on the right will be the inverse of the original matrix.
Each Gauss-Jordan elimination step is also applied to an auxiliary matrix on the right, which is initially the identity matrix.
The successive steps of Gauss-Jordan elimination are then carried out sequentially by repeatedly clicking on NEXT or on the currently highlighted step.

 Gauss, Carl Friedrich --  Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust!
He published over 150 works and made such important contributions as the fundamental theorem of algebra (in his doctoral dissertation), the least squares method, Gauss-Jordan elimination (for solving matrix equations), and the bell curve, or Gaussian error curve (see normal distribution).
Gauss made important contributions to physics and astronomy and pioneered the application of mathematics to gravitation, electricity, and magnetism.
