The inverse of a (square) matrix A is the matrix A' that satisfies
the property A x A' = I, where I is the identity matrix and x stands
for the matrix multiplication operator[1].  A' may or may not exist for 
a given matrix A, but if it does it is unique.

[1] I wish more people understood \TeX notation...  $A\times A^{-1}=I$.
