Let \(R\) be a ring with identity and \(\text{Unip}_n(R)\) the group of \(n\times n\) upper-triangular matrices over \(R\) all of whose diagonal entries are 1. For \(i=1,2,\dots,n-1\), let \(S_i\in\text{Unip}_n(R)\) denote the matrix whose \((i,i+1)\)-entry is 1 and the other off-diagonal entries are 0. The authors give a presentation of \(\text{Unip}_n(R)\) by \(S_1,S_2,\dots,S_{n-1}\).
