Write a matlab program to solve the linear system of equations ax = b, where a ∈ rn×n and b ∈ rn . the program should have the following components: • a function (subroutine) for gaussian elimination with partial pivoting. • a function for column oriented version of forward substitution to solve a lower triangular system lx = b. • a function for column oriented version of backward substitution to solve an upper triangular system ux = b.
