Don't include the MatrixForm wrapper in the definition of the variables (A={{(1-g)-1,1},{-w P(1-g)/C,-1}})//MatrixForm (B={{0},{-P(w+1)}})//MatrixForm Inverse[A].B Bob Hanlon > > From: skirmantas.janusonis at yale.edu (Skirmantas) To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net > Date: 2005/02/19 Sat AM 02:32:57 EST > To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net > Subject: [mg54404] [mg54383] Re: Why does Inverse[M] hesitate? > > The Inverse function sometimes calculates the inverse of a matrix > immediately, sometimes it does not.
