Matrices Definition
Matrices are the ordered rectangular array of numbers, which are used to express linear equations. A matrix has rows and columns. we can also perform the mathematical operations on matrices such as addition, subtraction, multiplication of matrix. Suppose the number of rows is m and columns is n, then the matrix is represented as m × n matrix.
Definition of Determinant
A determinant can be defined in many ways for a square matrix.
The first and most simple way is to formulate the determinant by taking into account the top row elements and the corresponding minors. Take the first element of the top row and multiply it by it’s minor, then subtract the product of the second element and its minor. Continue to alternately add and subtract the product of each element of the top row with its respective minor until all the elements of the top row have been considered.
For example let us consider a 4×4 matrix A.
