### What is Meant by Determinant?

In Mathematics, a determinant is a scalar quantity that is calculated from the elements of the matrix, which has certain properties of the linear transformation defined by the matrix. The determinant of the matrix is represented by |A|, det A or det (A). The determinant is used for solving the system of linear equations and finding the changing variables in the integrals. A determinant is a special number and it is defined only for square matrices. A square matrix is a matrix where it has an equal number of rows and columns.
