Tutorial 1

This document contains a tutorial sheet with 13 problems involving Gauss elimination and Gauss-Jordan methods for solving systems of linear equations. The problems cover determining if equations are linear, identifying matrices in row-echelon and reduced row-echelon form, using Gauss elimination to find solutions to systems of equations, determining values of parameters for which systems have no, unique, or infinitely many solutions, and identifying if a system has any nontrivial solutions.
