In contrast, the code from http://ic.ucsc.edu/~ptantalo/math21/Winter07/GaussJordan.java works fine even though it does not implement the pivot stuff. Moreover, this code is understandable since it is not using crap functions like "break" and "continue" in loops which make code unreadable and error prone.

== Bug in maxima code ==

For example, it fails with the following matrix:
<pre>
1 1 1 1 1
0 1 1 1 1
0 0 0 0 1
</pre>
rref produces:
<pre>
1 0 0 0 0
0 1 1 1 1
0 0 0 0 1
</pre>
The leading coefficient in the (3, 5)-th position is not the only nonzero element in its column.
