Inverse of a matrix
 

The inverse of a square matrix A, sometimes called a reciprocal matrix, is a matrix A^{-1} such that
AA^{-1} = A^{-1}A = I

For manual calculation you can use adjugate matrix to compute matrix inverse like this:
A^{-1} = \frac{1}{\det A}\cdot C^*

Adjugate matrix is the transpose of the cofactor matrix of A.
{C}^{*}= \begin{pmatrix} {A}_{11} & {A}_{21} & \cdots & {A}_{n1} \\ {A}_{12} & {A}_{22} & \cdots & {A}_{n2} \\ \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ {A}_{1n} & {A}_{2n} & \cdots & {A}_{nn} \\ \end{pmatrix}

Cofactor of a_{ij} of A is defined as
A_{ij}=(-1)^{i+j}M_{ij}
where M_{ij} is a minor of a_{ij}.

You can use this method relatively easy for small matrices, 2x2, 3x3, or, may be, 4x4. For bigger matrices it is easier to use Gauss-Jordan algorithm implemented by calculator.
