Transpose a matrix when I want to swap my rows and columns.

Calculate the determinant of a linear equation and if the result is a non-zero

number then it is a unique solution.
You can use the determinant to determine if a matrix is invertible. An invertible
matrix has a unique solution.
Inverse of a matrix is used to divide since you can't divide matrices.
Multiply a matrix by its inverse to get the Identity Matrix.
Identity matrix represents 1. Multiplying yields no difference but adding does.
