Description

Hi.

Just a quick question. Is there a native implementation of the Gauss-Jordan elimination method (or something similar)? I'm working on a chemical equation balancer, and I'm using RREF (via Gauss-Jordan elimination) as a stage in that process.

I went through the effort of writing my own Matrix implementation before I was pointed in this direction... and yours is far better so I'm going to swap it out. Fortunately it was not a waste of time since I learned a lot by implementing it.

If anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be fantastic.

Research direction

Start by checking nalgebra's existing matrix API and documentation for a native Gauss-Jordan or RREF operation. The issue does not name an implementation file, test, or a requested code change; first determine whether the capability already exists, then clarify the desired behavior before treating this as implementation work.
