Linear Algebra

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)
