Day 3/10 study challenge

Day 3.- Teach us a concept you've learnt this month that you found boring, but do it in a creative way. Songs, drawings, dance, whatever.


There's no way I can teach this concept in a creative way because I just hate it. The Gauss-Jordan/Gaussian elimination in Linear Algebra.




In linear algebra, Gaussian elimination (also known as row reduction) is an algorithm for solving systems of linear equations. It is usually understood as a sequence of operations performed on the associated matrix of coefficients. This method can also be used to find the rank of a matrix, to calculate the determinant of a matrix, and to calculate the inverse of an invertible square matrix. 

This method is named after Carl Friedrich Gauss but we never know, it was known to Chinese mathematicians as early as 179 CE

Thanks a lot
