In summary, "Short and simple questions" are brief and straightforward questions that are important in science because they help scientists clarify and focus their research. Scientists come up with these questions by identifying a specific problem, breaking it down into smaller components, and formulating concise questions to address each component. Examples of "Short and simple questions" in science include identifying boiling points, studying the effects of exercise, and determining chemical compositions. These questions can lead to scientific advancements by providing a clear direction for research, allowing for more efficient data collection and analysis, and ultimately leading to new discoveries and understanding in various fields.

What exactly is an echelon matrix? I searched the web and did find some useful results but I'm still a little confused. :confused:
Thanks in advance for any help. :smile:

An "echelon" matrix is one in which each row has zero entries extending further to the right than the previous row.

An echelon matrix is a type of matrix that has a specific structure, where all the entries below a certain point (known as the pivot) are equal to zero. This allows for easier manipulation and solving of equations using the matrix. It is often used in linear algebra and can be transformed into reduced row-echelon form to further simplify calculations. I hope this helps clarify the concept for you.
