What is the difference between singular matrix and non-singular matrix?

A singular matrix has determinant 0 and no inverse (its system has no unique solution); a non-singular matrix has non-zero determinant and a unique inverse.

A singular matrix has determinant 0 and no inverse (its system has no unique solution); a non-singular matrix has non-zero determinant and a unique inverse. A reliable way to keep them apart is to focus on what each one is defined by, not just the similar-sounding words.
