Question

When is gauss elimination better than gauss jordan?

Answer 1

Gaussian elimination as well as Gauss Jordan elimination are used to solve systems of linear equations. If, using elementary row operations, the augmented matrix is reduced to row echelon form, then the process is called Gaussian elimination. If the matrix is reduced to reduced row echelon form, the process is called Gauss Jordan elimination. In the case of Gaussian elimination, assuming that the system is consistent, the solution set can be obtained by back substitution whereas, if the matrix is in reduced row echelon form, the solution set can usually be obtained directly from the final matrix or at most by a few additional simple steps.
