The inverse of a square matrix A, sometimes called a reciprocal matrix, is a matrix such that

For manual calculation you can use adjugate matrix to compute matrix inverse like this:

Adjugate matrix is the transpose of the cofactor matrix of A.

Cofactor of of A is defined as

where is a minor of .

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.
