To express a system in matrix form, we extract the coefficients of the variables and the constants, and these become the entries of the matrix. We use a vertical line to separate the coefficient entries from the constants, essentially replacing the equal signs. When a system is written in this form, we call it an augmented matrix.

In this section, we will explore a less cumbersome way to find the solutions. First, we will represent a linear system with an augmented matrix. A matrix is simply a rectangular array of numbers. The size or dimension of a matrix is defined as m×n where m is the number of rows and n is the number of columns.

Clearly an algorithm that can be implemented on a computer is needed. The simplex algorithm (usually attributed to George Dantzig) provides exactly that.

If we study the process, we see that all of our moves are determined entirely by the coefficients of the variables involved, and not the variables themselves. In this section, we introduce a bookkeeping device to help us solve systems of linear equations.
