Solving a system of linear equations | Wild Linear Algebra A 13 | NJ Wildberger

This is the 13th lecture in this course on Linear Algebra. Here we start studying general systems of linear equations, matrix forms for such a system, row reduction, elementary row operations and row echelon forms.

This course is given by Assoc Prof N J Wildberger of UNSW, who also has other YouTube series, including WildTrig, MathFoundations and Algebraic Topology.
