Maxima Function

determinant (M)

Description

Computes the determinant of M by a method similar to Gaussian elimination.

The form of the result depends upon the setting of the switch ratmx.

There is a special routine for computing sparse determinants which is called when the switches ratmx and sparse are both true.
