   Jun 26, 2024 · determinant, in linear and multilinear algebra, a value, denoted det A, associated with a square matrix A of n rows and n columns. Designating any element of the matrix by the symbol a r c (the subscript r identifies the row and c the column), the determinant is evaluated by finding the sum of n ! terms, each of which is the product of the ...
