Hello and welcome to the Wikipedia. Your edit at triangular matrix was successful. I took the opportunity to make some small changes. Specifically, I made the word "atomic" bold. It is usual practice here to make a term bold in a definition (one makes a term bold by putting three quotes before and after it, like this ). Furthermore, I embedded your example in a complete sentence; the other example did not have a complete sentence either so I changed that as well. Finally, I removed the formulas with atomic upper triangular matrices, because they are (almost) the same as the formulas for atomic lower triangular matrices.

Do you know of a reference for the term atomic triangular matrix? I know them only under the name of Gauss transformation matrix.

If you have any questions about the Wikipedia, please feel free to ask me on my talk page at User talk:Jitse Niesen. And if you are planning to do more work on the mathematics articles (and I do hope so!), you might be interested in the mathematics project.

 * Thanks for all your info and mucho thanks for fixing the edit. I'm hoping to become more involved with the wikipedia in general (with of course a focus on mathematics) and its great to see how easily and quickly changes and updates occur.


 * Sorry but I hadn't come across atomic in reference to matricies before reading triangular matrix and only knew of the inverse property in relation to my uni studies at the moment. MathMartin appears to have originally contributed the part about atomic lower/upper triangular matricies.


 * Thanks again for a warm welcome :) TheFlyingPengwyn 06:24, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
