Determinant

Function: determinant (<M>) Computes the determinant of <M> by a method similar to Gaussian elimination.

load(vect);
m:matrix([1,1],[1,-1]);
n:transpose(m);
n:n*determinant(m);
m*n;

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.
