Michael Jordan?

[edit]

Not sure if this is right, but it says that it is named after the basketball player. Is this right? -- anonymous, 20:55, 30 October 2008

No, it's not, it's Wilhelm Jordan. Some people like to come here and introduce falsehoods. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 21:10, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Online tool

[edit]

The online tool by Felipe Santos de Andrade cited in the external references is in Portuguese, not in Spanish. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.175.242.235 (talk) 08:44, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is this tool necessary? The way it's phrased in the links secton, along with being signed by the author, and the fact it's in a foreign language on the english wikipedia I'd dare hazard Santos de Andrade added it himself. This tool would be more in its right on the portuguese page on Gauss-Jordan, if any. I am not as wiki-savvy as I like to think I am, so I'll leave the actual decision on keeping it to another cntributor. 91.177.187.83 (talk) 23:42, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(n^3)/3 is less than (n^3)/2

[edit]

When I saw the page, it claimed that Gauss-Jordan elimination required 50% more computation steps than Gaussian, but that the orders of magnitude, respectively, were (n^3)/3 and (n^3)/2. However, (n^3)/3 is less than (n^3)/2. Hence, I reversed the order of the figures. However, it would be nice if someone (preferably with access to the cited reference) could verify this. -AlanUS (talk) 22:04, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
