  Pivot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In linguistics, the syntactic pivot is the argument of the verb around which the sentence "revolves" — typically the one that the verb agrees with, the one that can be sometimes be omitted and assumed to remain the same as in previous sentences, etc. (in nominative-accusative languages, this is the argument we call "subject").
In mathematics, specifically linear algebra, a pivot is the first non-zero value of each row of a matrix after the matrix has been converted to row echelon form.
The number of pivots in a matrix is equal to the rank of the matrix.

 Center Pivot / Linear Move Systems
Pivots are generally economically feasible (relative to other types of irrigation system) when 40 acres or more are irrigated under a single pivot, and are generally the least expensive option when more than 60 acres are irrigated.
Operating a pivot is a simple job of turning the pivot on and can be done easily by one man (unless the pumping station is a considerable distance away from the pivot).
Pivots withstand this type of movement well when they are moved once or twice per year, but any attempt to move a pivot weekly is a wasted effort both in terms of crop water management and wear and tear on the pivot structure.

 SELECTION AND MANAGEMENT OF EFFICIENT CENTER-PIVOT AND LINEAR MOVE IRRIGATION SYSTEMS

The hardware is very similar to the center pivot, but instead of a pivot point that is anchored while the machine rotates around it, there is a "boss" tower that moves with the remainder of the machine.

 PlanetMath: row reduction
If there is a pivot in the last column, the system is inconsistent ; there will be no solutions.
In even more prosaic language, the variables in the non-pivot columns are to be considered ``free variables'' and should be ``moved'' to the right-hand side of the equation.
The general solution is then obtained by arbitrarily choosing values of the free variables, and then solving for the remaining ``non-free'' variables that reside in the pivot columns.

 Center-Pivot Irrigation Systems
A center pivot is a moving irrigation system (lateral) that rotates around a fixed point (pivot).
Pressures needed at the pivot depend on pressure losses in the lateral due to friction losses and elevation differences along the lateral.
For example, in a 35 psi system at the pivot and 20 psi at the last sprinkler, the discharge will drop 18 percent for a 15-foot rise in elevation.
