  Volker Strassen first suggested an algorithm to multiply matrices with worst
case running time less than the conventional $\mathcal{O}(n^3)$ operations in
1969. He also presented a recursive algorithm with which to invert matrices,
and calculate determinants using matrix multiplication. James R. Bunch & John
E. Hopcroft improved upon this in 1974 by providing modifications to the
inversion algorithm in the case where principal submatrices were singular,
amongst other improvements. We cover the case of multivariate polynomial matrix
inversion, where it is noted that conventional methods that assume a field will
experience major setbacks. Initially, the author and others published a
presentation of a fraction free formulation of inversion via matrix
multiplication along with motivations, however analysis of this presentation
was rudimentary. We hence provide a discussion of the true complexities of this
fraction free method arising from matrix multiplication, and arrive at its
limitations.
