 ==== Corollary: a formula for the inverse of a square matrix ====
-If $A$ is any $n\times n$ matrix with $\det(A)\ne 0$, then $A$ is invertible and \[A^{-1}=\frac1{\det A}J\] where $J$ is the adjoint of $A$.
+If $A$ is any $n\times n$ matrix with $\det(A)\ne 0$, then $A$ is invertible, and $A^{-1}=\frac1{\det A}J$ where $J$ is the adjoint of $A$.
 === Proof ===
-  * Divide the equation $AJ=(\det A)I_n=JA$ by $\det A$.  ■
+  * Divide the equation $AJ=(\det A)I_n=JA$ by $\det A$.
+  * $A(\frac1{\det A}J)=I_n=(\frac1{\det A})JA$
+  * So $A^{-1}=\frac1{\det A} J$.  ■
+==== Example ($n=4$) ====
+Let $A=\mat{1&0&0&0\\1&2&0&0\\1&2&3&0\\1&2&3&4}$.
+  * Reminder: repeated row or zero row gives determinant zero

+==== Example ($n=4$) ====
+Let $A=\mat{1&0&0&0\\1&2&0&0\\1&2&3&0\\1&2&3&4}$.
+  * $C=\mat{24&-12&0&0\\0&12&-8&0\\0&0&8&-6\\0&0&0&6}$ so $J=C^T=\mat{24&0&0&0\\-12&12&0&0\\0&-8&8&0\\0&0&-6&6}$.
+  * So $A^{-1}=\frac1{\det A}J = \frac1{24}\mat{24&0&0&0\\-12&12&0&0\\0&-8&8&0\\0&0&-6&6}=\mat{1&0&0&0\\-1/2&1/2&0&0\\0&-1/3&1/3&0\\0&0&-1/4&1/4}$.
+  * (Easy to check that $AA^{-1}=I_4=A^{-1}A$.)
-==== Example ====
-If again we take $A=\mat{3&1&0\\-2&-4&3\\5&4&-2}$, then $J=\mat{-4&2&3\\11&-6&-9\\12&-7&-10}$ and $\det(A)=-1$, so $A$ is invertible and $A^{-1}=\frac1{-1}J=-J=\mat{4&-2&-3\\-11&6&9\\-12&7&10}$.
