Inverse matrices

If a matrix moves the plane, can another matrix move it back? Usually, yes, and that undo-matrix is called the inverse. You'll hunt for the matrix that undoes a transformation, find the one kind of matrix that can never be undone, compute inverses by elimination, and then use them to crack a real 1929 cipher.
