MDETERM(arr)

• where $arr$ is the array of numeric elements

Description

• This function gives the determinant value of a matrix.
• To calculate the determinant of the matrix we can choose only square matrix.
• i.e., Number rows and number of columns should be equal.
• Determinant of the identity matrix is always 1.
• Determinant of the matrix A is denoted by det(A) or |A|.
• Let A be 2x2 matrix with the elements

• Then det(A)=ad-bc, where a,b,c,d all are real numbers.
• Let A be the 3x3 matrix with the elements

• This function will give the result as error when

1. Any one of the element in array is empty or contain non-numeric
2. Number of rows is not equal to number of columns
