Formulas
For a 2x2 matrix A = [ [a, b], [c, d] ], det(A) = ad - bc
For a 3x3 matrix A = [ [a, b, c], [d, e, f], [g, h, i] ], det(A) = a(ei - fh) - b(di - fg) + c(dh - eg)
Theorems
Determinant calculation via cofactor expansion for 3x3 matrices
Properties of determinants (e.g., determinant is zero if rows or columns are linearly dependent)
Suitable Grade Level
Undergraduate (Linear Algebra Course) or High School (Advanced Mathematics)
