Return Value
The determinant of the matrix.Return Value
The determinant of the matrix.Remarks
A system of simultaneous linear equations
has a unique solution if its determinant is not equal
to zero.
Determinants are only defined for square matrices. If the matrix is not square, an exception of type DimensionMismatchException is thrown.
For an eigenvalue decomposition the magnitude of the determinant is the product of the eigenvalues.
Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| DimensionMismatchException | The matrix is not square. |
