Hey linear algebra folks, what's the quickest way to input a matrix & get out a row-equivalent matrix by having the computer perform some random assortment of row operations? Is there some sort of site/interactive that'll do that. Bonus points if I can 'paste' the matrix somehow rather than retyping

Having no ceiling is intrinsically incompatible with having a strong floor and these idiots can't see that. Strong floor? The sociopaths will continue hoarding the world's resources until many of us are under the floorboards, are literally underground. Foh

"Actually?"
"Yeah, I was younger when I made it"
How do they still believe anything I tell them!?

Is there something as seamless as Imgur where I can take a screenshot and paste it from my clipboard without actually having to *upload* an image? For like one-off things where I don't care what happens to it after a week. Want something that's not like associated w Reddit and the like

I feel like getting a taste of stuff like this would scratch an itch for some students, using their math (with the help of computation) to do good.
