A matrix is in reduced row echelon form if it is in row echelon form, with the additional property that the first nonzero entry of each row is equal to and is the only nonzero entry of its column. The reduced row echelon form of a matrix is unique and does not depend on the sequence of elementary row operations used to obtain it.
Using row operations to convert a matrix into reduced row echelon form is sometimes called Gauss–Jordan elimination. In this case, the term Gaussian elimination refers to the process until it has reached its upper triangular, or (unreduced) row echelon form. For computational reasons, when solving systems of linear equations, it is sometimes ...
In econometrics, the equations of a structural form model are estimated in their theoretically given form, while an alternative approach to estimation is to first solve the theoretical equations for the endogenous variables to obtain reduced form equations, and then to estimate the reduced form equations.
Cramer's rule is a closed-form expression, in terms of determinants, of the solution of a system of n linear equations in n unknowns. Cramer's rule is useful for reasoning about the solution, but, except for n = 2 or 3 , it is rarely used for computing a solution, since Gaussian elimination is a faster algorithm.
Note that and are two distinct matrices in the row echelon form, which would mean that their span is the same if they're treated as matrices over some field. Moreover, they're in the Hermite normal form , meaning that their row span is also the same if they're considered over Z {\displaystyle \mathbb {Z} } , the ring of integers .
In mathematics, an elementary matrix is a square matrix obtained from the application of a single elementary row operation to the identity matrix.The elementary matrices generate the general linear group GL n (F) when F is a field.

In linear algebra, the Hermite normal form is an analogue of reduced echelon form for matrices over the integers.Just as reduced echelon form can be used to solve problems about the solution to the linear system = where , the Hermite normal form can solve problems about the solution to the linear system = where this time is restricted to have integer coordinates only.
