Matrix determinant

The determinant det𝐴 𝕂 of a matrix 𝐴 M𝑛,𝑛𝕂 is a scalar quantity uniquely defined by its properties, namely: #m/def/linalg

  1. det𝟙 =1, where 𝟙 is the identity matrix;
  2. The exchange of two rows of 𝐴 multiplies the determinant by 1;
  3. Multiplying a row by a scalar multiplies the determinant by that scalar;
  4. Adding any multiple of a different row to a given row does not affect the determinant.

Leibniz formula

The determinant of a matrix 𝐴 =(𝑎𝑖𝑗) M𝑛,𝑛𝕂 is given by #m/thm/linalg

det(𝑎𝑖𝑗)=𝜏S𝑛(sgn𝜏)𝑛𝑖=1𝑎𝑖𝜏(𝑖)=𝜏S𝑛(sgn𝜏)𝑛𝑖=1𝑎𝜏(𝑖)𝑖

which is known as the Leibniz formula for the determinant.
