Reduced row echelon form of a matrix



Hello!

Thanks for your answer!

>ECHELON(M) where M is a matrix does this.

It produces matrices like

[ 1 * * *]
[ 0 1 * *]
[0 0 1 *]

where asterisk denotes a zero or non-zero number.

What I need is a matrix like

[ 1 0 0 *]
[ 0 1 0 *]
[0 0 1 *]

Is there a way to do this in Maxima, apart from coding it ?

TIA
