Matrix Calculations
# Determinants can be obtained only for
square matrices (same number of rows and
columns). Trying to obtain a determinant for a
matrix that is not square produces an error.
# The determinant of a 2 × 2 matrix is
calculated as shown below.
# The determinant of a 3
× 3 matrix is calculated
as shown below.
