Hello,

I would like to know which inversion method is applied by  Mathematica
when it computes the inverse of a symbolic  matrix 

  Mat={{a,b,c},{d,e,f},{g,h,i}};   . 

Taking a look at the result of Inverse[Mat];  may lead to the assumtion
that something like  

  adjugate[Mat]/Det[Mat]    

is used ??? 

('adjugate' (adjoint) stands for a matrix whose elements are  signed
cofactors or minor determinants)

Thanks in advance,
