Solving Systems of Equations

This quarter I have stumbled into a rather interesting situation: I am tutoring a class that is learning exactly what my Linear Algebra class is going over. Specifically, this is biting me in the ass because of our focus on Solving Systems of Linear Equations. In order to help my tutorial groups, as well as [...]
