'''Gaussian Elimination''' is a simple method for solving a system of simultaneous linear equations by expressing them in [[matrix]] form and then subtracting rows from each other sequentially in order to create all ones on the main diagonal and all zeros below the diagonal, thereby facilitating identification of solutions or range of solutions.
