Déterminant - Matrice Carrée

The document defines the determinant of a square matrix and provides the formula to calculate it. The determinant is a scalar value that measures the size of the matrix and indicates whether it is nonsingular. The definition expands the determinant according to the first column of the matrix but notes it can be expanded according to any row or column.

Déterminant d’une matrice carrée

Let [A] = [aij ] be an n x n matrix. We wish to associate with [A] a scalar that in some sense
measures the « size » of [A] and indicates whether or not [A] is nonsingular. The determinant

A
of the matrix [A] = [aij ] is defined to be the scalar det [A] = computed according to the
rule
n i 1

det[A] = A    1 ai1 Ai1


i 1

where jAij j is the determinant of the (n-1) x (n-1) matrix that remains on deleting the ith row
and the jth column of [A].
In the above de_nition special attention is given to the first column of the matrix [A]. We call

A A
it the expansion of according to the first column of [A]. One can expand according to
any column or row:
n i j

det[A] = A    1
i ou j 1
aij Aij pour i ou j fixé
