Row echelon form

In linear algebra, a matrix is in echelon form if it has the shape resulting from a Gaussian elimination. A matrix being in row echelon form means that Gaussian elimination has operated on the rows, andcolumn echelon form means that Gaussian elimination has operated on the columns. In other words, a matrix is in column echelon form if its transpose is in row echelon form. Therefore, only row echelon forms are considered in the remainder of this article. The similar properties of column echelon form are easily deduced by transposing all the matrices. Specifically, a matrix is in row echelon form if * All rows consisting of only zeroes are at the bottom. * A leading coefficient (also called the pivot) of a row is always strictly to the right of any leading coefficient of the row above. Some texts add the condition that the leading coefficient must be 1 while others regard this as reduced row echelon form. These two conditions imply that all entries in a column below a leading coefficient are zeros. The following is an example of a 4x5 matrix in row echelon form, which is not in reduced row echelon form (see below): Many properties of matrices may be easily deduced from their row echelon form, such as the rank and the kernel.
