Description:

A java tool used for row reducing matrices of varying sizes to row 
echelon, or row reduced echelon forms. It is intended to support basic 
row reduction over different fields, then later expand to support other
linear algebra operations.

Running Intructions:

To run this application as a jar file, open up your shell/commandline
cd to the directory containing the file, j-la-toolset.jar

type: java -jar j-la-toolset.jar

NOTE: You must have jdk version 1.5.0 or higher to run


Usage instructions

First read the license. Choose the number of rows & columns the field
and Z value. Click create matrix to create a matrix of the desired size.
If at any stage you need to change the size, do so and re click create
matrix.

Enter the entries into the matrix text boxes

Pick row echelon or row reduced echolon algorithm, (row echelon by default)

Click row reduce and view the textpane for the output. You can clear the output 
if necessary.

Note: I believe there may be some bugs still, so just to be safe always select
all your parameters such as size, field etc before creating the matrix
and entering the matrix entries
