5.1.19 det
Syntax:
det ( intmat_expression )
det ( matrix_expression )
det ( module_expression )
Type:
- int, resp. poly
Purpose:
- returns the determinant of a square matrix. A module is considered
as a matrix. The applied algorithms depend on type of input.
If the input is a module or matrix with symbolic entries the
Bareiss algorithm is used. In the other cases the chinese remainder
algorithm is used. For large sparse problems the input as a module
has advantages.
Example:
See
intmat;
matrix;
minor.
