Matrix Calculations
# Only square matrices (same number of rows
and columns) can be inverted. Trying to invert
a matrix that is not square produces an error.
#A matrix with a determinant of zero cannot be
inverted. Trying to invert a matrix with
determinant of zero produces an error.
# Calculation precision is affected for matrices
whose determinant is near zero.
#A matrix being inverted must satisfy the
conditions shown below.
The following shows the formula used to
invert Matrix A into inverse matrix A
