Chapter 7 Determinants

Matrices also support non-arithmetic, unary operations; operation that are applied to the matrix itself and its entrees. Two such operations are the determinant of a square matrix and its inverse.
In this chapter, we will learn about a fundamental concept in linear algebra that is determinants, which provides important insights into the properties of matrices, and the linear transformation or the system of linear equations they represent.
