Definition of pivot position

Created almost 9 years ago, updated about 8 hours ago

A pivot position is the row-and-column location of a leading entry in echelon form. It marks a leading variable when reading a system. The pivot-column indices are fixed for a given matrix; the numerical pivot entries can vary between echelon forms. Reduced row-echelon form itself is unique.
