problems using inverse

[" Albrecht Weerts" <Albrecht.Weerts@wldelft.nl>]

Started using Jama a few months ago but now running into some probelms

Inverting this matrix with jama
A1=
0.18912803726394   0.16034537535266   0.07602040927109
0.16034537535266   0.14266722113336   0.08046930838699
0.07602040927109   0.08046930838699   0.14469936354505

yields a singular matrix  (A1.inverse())
but with Matlab it yields
inv(A1)=

1.0e+002 *

   1.46623175989361  -1.76799577416819   0.21289560610586
  -1.76799577416819   2.23399278022841  -0.31350581311000
   0.21289560610586  -0.31350581311000   0.13160517352345

Can you tell me why this occurs or am I doing something wrong?

Sincerely,

Albrecht Weerts
