Determinant Of Matrices - Overview

In linear algebra, the determinant is a useful value for evaluating the volume of a parallelepiped (a three-dimensional generalization of a parallelogram) in terms of the area of its bases and the lengths of its sides. For a 2-by-2 square matrix, the determinant is also called the signed area and is denoted by |A|. The determinant is an example of a characteristic polynomial of a matrix. The determinant of a matrix A is denoted det(A).
