R devel - Aug 2000 - Inverting matrix...

Dear all,

Either I'm being totally blind now (as you know, the eyes are the first
thing that is blinded :-)), or something is missing in 
"An Introduction to R". The section heading of section 5.7.1 is
"Multiplication, inversion and solving linear equations", and since I
was
looking for the canonical way of inverting a matrix, this was the place to
look. However, I found that solve() was not mentioned, I found that
strange... Was something forgotten here? :-)

I found the answer to my question in V&R, so don't be bothered about
that,
but I thought you'd like to be told when things are unclear in the docs.

Best,

Kjetil

Thanks a lot Kjetil!

I've just committed a fix to this "documentation bug" for R 1.1.1,
i.e.
R-release/patched
