Rank

in mathematics. The rank of a matrix is the order of a nonsingular minor of maximum order. It is also equal to the largest number of linearly independent rows or columns of the matrix. The rank remains unchanged under elementary transformations of the matrix—that is, when rows or columns are interchanged, when a row or column is multiplied by a nonzero number, and when rows or columns are added. A system of linear equations has a solution if and only if the rank of the matrix formed from the coefficients of the unknowns is equal to the rank of the augmented matrix, that is, the matrix formed by the addition of a column containing the constant terms to the coefficient matrix. This solution is unique if the rank is equal to the number of unknowns.

Rank

(Russian, chin), the service position held by military personnel and civil servants, to which apply specified official rights and obligations. In prerevolutionary Russia, ranks were conferred according to the Table of Ranks, established by Peter I the Great.

All civil and military ranks were abolished by the decrees of Soviet power of Nov. 10 (23) and Dec. 16 (29), 1917. Class ranks (chiny klassnye) have been established in the USSR for workers in the Procurator’s Office.

Rank

Both formations may be either close or open. In close formation the intervals between the men within a rank are equal to the width of a hand; in open formation the interval is one step or a distance ordered by the commander.
