TL;DR Summary
Looking at this now- refreshing on rref kindly see attached.

This is fine but i have my own approach as follows;


##\begin{pmatrix}
-7 & -6 & -12 & -33 \\
5 & 5 & 7& 24 \\
1 & 0 & 4 & 5
\end{pmatrix} ## → Row 1 times 5 and row 2 times 7...

##\begin{pmatrix}
-35 & -30 & -60 & -165 \\
35 & 35 & 49& 168 \\
1 & 0 & 4 & 5
\end{pmatrix}## →

##\begin{pmatrix}
-35 & -30 & -60 & -165 \\
0 & 5 & -11& 3 \\
1 & 0 & 4 & 5
\end{pmatrix}## → Row 1 minus row 2...

##\begin{pmatrix}
-35 & -30 & -60 & -165 \\
1 & 0 & 4& 5 \\
0 & 5 & -11 & 3
\end{pmatrix} ## → R3 and R2 switch...


##\begin{pmatrix}
-35 & -30 & -60 & -165 \\
0 & -30 & 80 & 10 \\
0 & 5 & -11 & 3
\end{pmatrix} ## → R3 times 6 then subtract from R2

##\begin{pmatrix}
-35 & -30 & -60 & -165 \\
0 & -30 & 80 & 10 \\
0 & 0 & 14 & 28
\end{pmatrix} ##

##14x_3=28, x_3=2##

##-30x_2+160=10##

##x_2=5##

##-35x_1-30x_2-60x_3=-165##

##-35x_1-150-120=-165##

##-35x_1=105##

##x_1=-3##.

I fully understand the author's approach of having the leading elements for every row being ##1## conforming with the Row reduced echelon form...

just sharing...cheers

As long as you know what is going on with the arithmetic, anything that works and that you can easily tackle "tags all the bases".
When attacking such problems in the workplace, there's little point to doing it manually - use a software tool.
As an additional exercise, you might want to code this up as a function - or set it up in a spread sheet (ex, Excel) where the matrix values can be changed and the output recomputed and displayed automatically.

True, i know software can help in most of math problems... e.g multiplying matrices, finding determinants of matrices, diagonalize matrices etc...and many other math areas... but i prefer in most cases to use my human capabilities; it does wonders to my cognition/processing speed in dealing practically with life challenges... That's why i like doing Math.
Cheers mate.

I asked online questions about Proposition 2.1.1: The answer I got is the following: I have some questions about the answer I got. When the person answering says: ##1.## Is the map ##\mathfrak{q}\mapsto \mathfrak{q} A _\mathfrak{p}## from ##A\setminus \mathfrak{p}\to A_\mathfrak{p}##? But I don't understand what the author meant for the rest of the sentence in mathematical notation: ##2.## In the next statement where the author says: How is ##A\to...
The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...
When decomposing a representation ##\rho## of a finite group ##G## into irreducible representations, we can find the number of times the representation contains a particular irrep ##\rho_0## through the character inner product $$ \langle \chi, \chi_0\rangle = \frac{1}{|G|} \sum_{g\in G} \chi(g) \chi_0(g)^*$$ where ##\chi## and ##\chi_0## are the characters of ##\rho## and ##\rho_0##, respectively. Since all group elements in the same conjugacy class have the same characters, this may be...
