摘要

The determinant is a map that assigns to every square matrix \(A\in R^{n,n}\) , where R is a commutative ring with unit, an element of R. This map has very interesting and important properties. For instance it yields a necessary and sufficient condition for the invertibility of \(A\in R^{n,n}\) . Moreover, it forms the basis for the definition of the characteristic polynomial of a matrix in Chapter 8 .
