Gaussian Jordan

The document describes using Gaussian elimination to invert a 2x2 matrix. It gives the steps to transform the matrix into the identity matrix and the inverse matrix. The steps include multiplying rows by constants and adding rows to eliminate values. After 6 steps, the inverse of the example matrix is obtained.
