ABSTRACT
The Jordan Gauss Method is a method of solving linear problems, while the
Jordan Gauss Method is a development of the gauss elimination method, except that the
matrix is added, on the left it is converted into a diagonal matrix. Computing The Gauss
Jordan method in Matlab can solve mathematics and engineering one of them in the field
of construction. The purpose of asking for the Gauss Jordan method is to determine the
amount of material needed to complete the construction project which requires three-
hole data while the materials can be obtained through a linear agreement. And in this
computational analysis a loop for function is used. From the computational results
carried out in Matlab, it was found that each hole needed to be transported 40.0581 m3
of sand, 71.3140 m3 of fine gravel, and 51.6279 m3 of coarse gravel.

done to the data of materials needed in the

Next, we make the function of Gauss-

size (C), which uses to rows and columns of
a matrix. After that, before operating the
Gauss Jordan method, pivoting is used.
Pivoting is used as a calculation operation
with the main value to start the calculation.
Then, the == sign has a function to compare
two variables and information whether the
two variables match or not.
By operating the Gauss Jordan method
using the for-end structure (loop for

whose elements other than the diagonal
matrix change to zero. At the end of the
