Gauss Jordan Method
Given the Linear System: Procedure:
• Reduce the augmented coefficient matrix to diagonal
a11 x1 + a12 x2 + a13 x3 = b1
form via row equivalent technique:
a21 x1 + a22 x2 + a23 x3 = b2 • eliminate the non-diagonal coefficients column-wise
a31 x1 + a32 x2 + a33 x3 = b3 • by taking the column diagonal as pivot
• and row corresponding to column diagonal as pivotal
In matrix form: row
x1 = β1 /α11
a11 a12 a13 : b1 0 0
α11 : β1
a21 a22 a23 : b2 ⇒ 0 α22 0 ⇒ x2 = β2 /α22
: β2
