Matrix
i, j
integers; position of the pivot entry
options
(optional) parameters; for a complete list, see LinearAlgebra[Pivot]
The Pivot(A, i, j) command pivots A about the nonzero entry Ai,j. Multiples of the ith row are added to every other row in A, with the result that all entries in the jth column of A are zero except for the i,jth element.
