I have searched for this and came to know about it that it is traditionally used to solve linear equations, finding determinant, rank of matrix, inverse of matrix.
There was a problem on codechef: given few numbers, choose some of them to have xor value of all those no.s to be maximum? The gaussian elimination technique could be used there.
I want to know, what are such other nice and un-tradional, unknown examples, applications, scenarios where this technique can be used?
