Fun Fact
A matrix with a determinant of zero is called singular, meaning it has no inverse-an idea that plays a crucial role in solving systems of equations.
Historical Context
Determinants were introduced in the 17th century, long before matrices were formally defined. Mathematicians like Leibniz and Cramer used determinant-like expressions to solve systems of linear equations, laying the groundwork for modern linear algebra.
