Determinant Definition/Meaning:

A number associated with a square matrix of numbers. The determinant of an n x n matrix A is denoted by det(A) or |A| and given by

where the sum is taken over all n! permutations

s = s₁s₂ ......s_n

of the integers 1,2,... ,n. par(ó), the parity of s. is either +1 or -1 depending on whether s is an even permutation or an odd permutation.
