I found an author who claimed to have written Linear Algebra functions in 
Javascript.  So I downloaded his program, stuck it in a Javascript editor 
and * nothing *.  I am going to have to end up writing the program myself. 
Everything isn't that bad except for the inverse.

Can you mix HTML and Javascript on the same page?

Of course. What level of development experience do you have?

Yes.

Before implementing inverse, think about whether you really need it as a
practical programming matter. If you are going to solve linear
equations, it may be more practical to do one of a couple of decompositions.

You can find high quality Fortran code to read for algorithms at

Yes, but there's an obvious un-asked question: why would you want to
write linear algebra functions in JavaScript[1]?  In particular, why
would you mix linear algebra with HTML?  Now I can think of perfectly
reasonable answers to this question, but your last query (about mixing
HTML and JavaScript) suggests you are new to this lark and you may have
settled on a "solution" without knowing all the options.

[1] You probably mean ECMAScript but I don't think the terminology
matters at the stage.
