It is used to solve linear equations of the form \[\mathbf{A} \vec{x} = \vec{b},\] where \(\mathbf{A}\) is a known \(N\times N\) matrix, \(\vec{b}\) is a known vector of length \(N\), and \(\vec{x}\) is an unknown vector of length \(N\). The goal is to find \(\vec{x}\). The Gaussian elimination algorithm is implemented by Scipy's scipy.linalg.solve function.
