Mathematical problem-solving ability plays a crucial role in enabling students to understand mathematical concepts and solve complex problems, particularly in matrix algebra courses at the university level. This study aims to describe students’ mathematical problem-solving abilities in solving problems related to elementary row operations in the matrix algebra course. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. The study was conducted at Sekolah Tinggi Agama Islam Al-Bahjah Cirebon involving second-semester students of the Mathematics Education program who were enrolled in the matrix algebra course. The research subjects consisted of three students representing high, medium, and low categories based on their test scores. Data were collected using a written test on elementary row operations. The data analysis was carried out using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data collection, data reduction, and data presentation. Students’ problem-solving abilities were analyzed based on Polya’s problem-solving indicators, namely understanding the problem, devising a plan, carrying out the plan, and looking back. The results showed that high-level students were able to meet all indicators of mathematical problem-solving skills, medium-level students were able to meet two indicators of mathematical problem-solving skills, namely understanding problems and planning problem-solving strategies, and low-level students were only able to meet one indicator of mathematical problem-solving skills, namely understanding problems.
