On the Magic Square and Inverse
Elzaidi, S. M.
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science & Technology, v36 n6 p673-680 Sep 2005
In this note, we give a method for finding the inverse of a three by three magic square matrix without using the usual methods for finding the inverse of a matrix. Also we give a method for finding the inverse of a three by three magic square matrix whose entries are also matrices. By using these ideas, we can construct large matrices whose inverses can be calculated easily.
