how do u calculate the determinant of matrix of size n^2

[honest ibex]

im asking about a particular method, the one where u develop or something

[honest ibex]

nono

for a matrix of size n

n x n

[azure barn]

I think you are referring to Laplace expansion

[honest ibex]

yes, preciesly

[azure barn]

Die Laplace Entwicklung also

[honest ibex]

yh the same thing

im having some trouble understanding how it works,

[azure barn]

Are u german?

[honest ibex]

upon which criteria should i choose which column to use

nein ich bin nicht, mein fruend :/

[azure barn]

ok schade :/

so you basically try to chopse that row and column with the most zeroes

less calculations

actually

[honest ibex]

ye but first u use some operations to add even more zeros

[honest ibex]

which operations dont change the determinant's value

[azure barn]

watcj this

[honest ibex]

thanks i will

[azure barn]

yeah you can do that as well

[honest ibex]

oh schi-

i cant speak german

[azure barn]

you can do both collumn and row operations wirh determinants

thats a beautifuly characteristic

thanks

dam, thanks alot
