OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey kiddo whats up?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

my first guess is the spelling differs at the end

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL hehe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just looking around. Ive never heard of either so i was seeing if anyone else knows

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i think its just different ways to say the same thing; kinda like the wronskian

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (amistre64):

GJ gives an inverse it seems like; while just the G gives an answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya me too still struggling with integration

OpenStudy (anonymous):

according to wikipedia, "Elementary row operations are used to reduce a matrix to what is called triangular form (in numerical analysis) or row echelon form (in abstract algebra). Gauss–Jordan elimination, an extension of this algorithm, reduces the matrix further to diagonal form, which is also known as reduced row echelon form. Gaussian elimination alone is sufficient for many applications, and requires fewer calculations than the Gauss–Jordan version."
