This lecture covers the Gauss elimination algorithm for solving linear systems, including forward and backward substitution methods. It also introduces the concept of factorization with pivoting and its application in solving linear systems. The instructor explains the steps of the algorithm, the importance of pivoting even when the diagonal element is not zero, and provides practical examples of solving linear systems using Python.
