  2. Coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient

    Coefficient matrices are used in algorithms such as Gaussian elimination and Cramer's rule to find solutions to the system. The leading entry (sometimes leading coefficient [citation needed]) of a row in a matrix is the first nonzero entry in that row.

  3. Leading-order term - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading-order_term

    Thus the leading-order behaviour of this equation at x=10 is that y increases cubically with x. The main behaviour of y may thus be investigated at any value of x. The leading-order behaviour is more complicated when more terms are leading-order. At x=2 there is a leading-order balance between the cubic and linear dependencies of y on x.

  4. Ehrhart polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ehrhart_polynomial

    the leading coefficient, (), is equal to the d-dimensional volume of P, divided by d(L) (see lattice for an explanation of the content or covolume d(L) of a lattice); the second coefficient, L d − 1 ( P ) {\displaystyle L_{d-1}(P)} , can be computed as follows: the lattice L induces a lattice L F on any face F of P ; take the ( d − 1 ...

  5. Gaussian elimination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_elimination

    So if two leading coefficients are in the same column, then a row operation of type 3 could be used to make one of those coefficients zero. Then by using the row swapping operation, one can always order the rows so that for every non-zero row, the leading coefficient is to the right of the leading coefficient of the row above.

  6. Rational root theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_root_theorem

    q is an integer factor of the leading coefficient a n. The rational root theorem is a special case (for a single linear factor) of Gauss's lemma on the factorization of polynomials. The integral root theorem is the special case of the rational root theorem when the leading coefficient is a n = 1.

  7. Monomial order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monomial_order

    When a monomial order has been chosen, the leading monomial is the largest u in S, the leading coefficient is the corresponding c u, and the leading term is the corresponding c u u. Head monomial/coefficient/term is sometimes used as a synonym of "leading". Some authors use "monomial" instead of "term" and "power product" instead of "monomial".

  8. Monic polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monic_polynomial

    Let () be a polynomial equation, where P is a univariate polynomial of degree n.If one divides all coefficients of P by its leading coefficient, one obtains a new polynomial equation that has the same solutions and consists to equate to zero a monic polynomial.

  9. Row echelon form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Row_echelon_form

    The leading entry (that is, the left-most nonzero entry) of every nonzero row, called the pivot, is on the right of the leading entry of every row above. [2] Some texts add the condition that the leading coefficient must be 1 [3] while others require this only in reduced row echelon form.
