If it is not a square matrix. You cannot invert a square matrix if it is singular. That means that at least one of the rows of the matrix can be expressed as a linear combination of the other rows. A simple test is that a matrix cannot be inverted if its determinant is zero.
The classical adjoint of a square matrix A the transpose of the matrix who (i, j) entry is the a i j cofactor.
