Applying RREF transformation of one matrix to another

edit

Thanks! But when I tried the above:

1. It didn't really give me the RREF
2. The transformation = True parameter seems to not do anything once I start working on finite fields.

On an unrelated note, where may I learn the typesetting features on this platform? (Code boxes, LaTeX, etc.)

Please provide examples of what you expect and what you get. Typesetting here supports Markdown syntax - see https://daringfireball.net/projects/m...

Thanks!

I wrote in the notebook:

M = Matrix([[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]])
M.rref(transformation = True)
M.echelon_form(transformation = True)


The first one only returns the RREF despite passing the transformation parameter. The second one does return an echelon form and the transformation matrix is provided, the way I wanted. However, the echelon form is not row reduced.

On an unrelated note, where may I learn the typesetting features on this platform? (Code boxes, LaTeX, etc.)

This site uses Mathjax, which may display typeset math from LaTeX code bracketed by $s (inline) or $$s (displayed). It has some limitations (e. g. doesn't support cases or (some) arrays) and some bugs (e. g. needs \\, in place of \,).

HTH,

@yeetcode: you can reduce the form yourself by dividing each its row and the row of transformation matrix by the corresponding diagonal elements.
