When you do elementry row operations, do you see the matrix in columns or in rows?

I have been seeing this in rows so far, trying to get a leading one at the begining and then trying to get another row with a leading one steped over farther than the one above it. After all that is done I try and reduce the rest of the zeros. Seems non-effecient to me now.

Any thoughts?

Thanks again,

Rob
 
What do you mean by "seeing" the matrix?

Please be specific. Thank you.
