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:

(a c

)b ddet = ad - bc

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:

(a c

)b ddet = ad - bc

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:

(a c

)b ddet = ad - bc

The concept “determinant” arose from early attempts to generalize the process of solving systems of linear equations.Consider the following:
