Rank (of a matrix)

Definitions:

  Refers to the rank of a matrix in linear algebra over GF(2).  Having reduced a matrix into row-echelon form via elementary row operations, the number of nonzero rows, if any, are counted in order to determine the number of linearly independent rows or columns in the matrix.
