MDETERM function

MDETERM(Matrix) MDETERM(Matrix)

Matrix

{{ Number }}

The numbers of the matrix. This two-dimensional array must have a size that is equal to the sizes of its constituent arrays, with no blank values. In other words, it must be square.

Returns

Number

The matrix determinant of the given matrix.

Returns the matrix determinant of the given matrix. Matrices are written differently in Calcapp compared to most spreadsheets. For instance, =MDETERM({ 3, 5; 1, 2 }) (written =MDETERM({ 3; 5\ 1; 2 }) with decimal commas) is written as MDETERM({{ 3, 5 }, { 1, 2 }})MDETERM({{ 3; 5 }; { 1; 2 }}) in Calcapp.

Example

MDETERM({{ 3, 5 }, { 1, 2 }})MDETERM({{ 3; 5 }; { 1; 2 }})

Returns the matrix determinant, 1.
