This document discusses inverse matrices and methods for calculating them. It defines an inverse matrix as a matrix M-1 such that MM-1=M-1M=I, where I is the identity matrix. Only square matrices can have inverses. Two common methods for calculating the inverse are Crammer's Method, which uses the adjoint and determinant of the matrix, and Gauss Method, which performs row operations. An example calculates the inverse of a 2x2 matrix using the property that the inverse is the transpose of the cofactor matrix divided by the determinant.
