Inverse
Inverse[mat]
finds the inverse of the square matrix mat
.
Attributes[Inverse] := {Protected}
Details
The row-reduce method has not been added yet, but the shortcuts to finding the inverses of matrices up to 3x3 have been added.
Simple examples
In[1]:= Inverse[{{1, 2}, {3, 4}}] Out[1]= {{-2, 1}, {(3)/(2), (1)/(2)*-1}}
In[2]:= Inverse[{{3, 2, 1}, {1, 4, 2}, {2, 5, 7}}] Out[2]= {{(2)/(5), (1)/(5)*-1, 0}, {(1)/(15)*-1, (19)/(45), (1)/(9)*-1}, {(1)/(15)*-1, (11)/(45)*-1, (2)/(9)}}
Further examples
Symbolic elements are handled correctly:
In[1]:= {{(1)/(b)}} Out[1]= Inverse[{{b}}]
