We begin this chapter with a return to basics and look at the underlying combinatorics of the Gaussian elimination procedure. This classical routine involves permutation of rows and columns of a matrix. The rules these permutations obey are extremely simple; when axiomatized in group-theoretic terms, they become what are known as axioms for a BN-pair (or a Tits system) and very quickly lead to Coxeter groups appearing on the scene.
