a bit old fashioned but works well with a variety of browsers

This web site serves at the homepage for a collection of web-based computational tools to do the following: perform row operations on a matrix, automatically transform a matrix for (reduced) echelon form (which displays the sequence), solving a linear system, computing the inverse of a matrix, calculating determinants, determining if a set of vectors is linearly independent and if it spans a given space, finding bases, finding the kernel and range of a linear transformation. The tools do a nice job of explaining the solution steps in those that are automated. The tools use web forms with CGI/Perl computation in the background, which makes it look a bit old fashioned but it works well with a variety of browsers.
