Python Inverse of a Matrix

Question

How do I get the inverse of a matrix in python? I\'ve implemented it myself, but it\'s pure python, and I suspect there are faster modules out there to do it.

Answer 1

You could calculate the determinant of the matrix which is recursive and then form the adjoined matrix

Here is a short tutorial

I think this only works for square matrices

Another way of computing these involves gram-schmidt orthogonalization and then transposing the matrix, the transpose of an orthogonalized matrix is its inverse!
