DETERMINANT definition and origin
Associated with every square matrix A there is a number called the determinant of A. The definition of the determinant of a 22 matrix follows: = ad - bc det

The concept “determinant” arose from early attempts to generalize the process of solving systems of linear equations. Consider the following:
replace x coordinates with replace y coordinates with
The following presentation entitled DETERMINANT will outline the algorithm for evaluating the determinant of a 33 matrix
