Some authors use the term Gaussian elimination to refer to the process until it has reached its upper triangular, or (non-reduced) row echelon form. For computational reasons, when solving systems of linear equations, it is sometimes preferable to stop row operations before the matrix is completely reduced.
Gaussian elimination is a step-by-step procedure that starts with a system of linear equations, or an augmented matrix, and transforms it into another system which is easier to solve. Usually, we end up being able to easily determine the value of one of our variables, and, using that variable we can apply back-substitution to solve the rest of the system.
