- I'd like to point out that it is almost never required or desirable to
- compute the inverse of a matrix. Almost without exception, you can do
- any computation in which you would use the inverse in a better way that
- does not use the inverse. By 'better' I mean faster, uses less memory,
- more accurate, etc.
