1.1 Introduction
Guassian elimination is the standard method for solving linear equations. As it is a ubiquitous algorithm and plays a fundamental role in scientific computation. Guassian elimination is a tool for obtaining the solution of equations, to compute the determinant, for deducing rank of coefficient matrix. However Guassian Elimination depends more on matrix analysis and computation it emphasis on block pivoting, methods of iteration and a means to improve the computed solution quality. It involves two stages forward and backward stage. Forward stage: Unknowns are eliminated in this stage by manipulation of equations and constitute an echelon form. Backward stage: it is related with back substitution process on the reduced upper triangular method resulting in a solution of equation.
