I have to right a computer program that uses data inputted by the user, creates a vandermonde matrix (3rd degree) and than computes the values of a, b, c and d. I can create the vandermonde matrix, find the transpose and than multiply. However, I can't seem to figure out who to find the inverse. I do know how to find the inverse, but i can't seem to code it. I was just wondering how I would code it to right the matrix inverse. Any help would be appreciated. (is this in the right section?)

What language are you writing this program in?

And what are a,b,c, and d?

a, b, c, d and coefficients of the polynomial, that is
f(x) = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d

and in either java or c++ (preferably java since i'm more fimiliar with it)
