17.3: C - Determinants

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

In Chapter 5 we defined the determinant of a 2×2 matrix for the sole purpose of providing some hands-on experience in the computation of inverses of 2×2 matrices. In this appendix we will define the determinant of any square matrix, and summarize the main properties of determinants.
