Linear System - Echelon Matrix

About

The Echelon form is a generalization of triangular matrices.

An <math>m * n</math> 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.

If a matrix is in echelon form, the nonzero rows form a basis for the row space
