Online Algebra Calculator
Many of users do not use powerful Maxima computer algebra system for systematic work, but for ad hoc algebraic calculations – equations, functions, matrixes, etc. only. To do this job, it is not useful to download the whole application from a web site.
-- Option variable: detout Default value: false
When detout is true, the determinant of a matrix whose inverse is computed is factored out of the inverse.
![Detout Example load(vect);
m:matrix([1,1],[1,-1]);
detout: false;
n:invert(m);

For this switch to have an effect doallmxops and doscmxops should be false (see their descriptions). Alternatively this switch can be given to ev which causes the other two to be set correctly.
Example:
(%i1) m: matrix ([a, b], [c, d]);
[ a b ]
(%o1) [ ]
[ c d ]
(%i2) detout: true$
(%i3) doallmxops: false$
(%i4) doscmxops: false$
(%i5) invert (m);
[ d - b ]
[ ]
[ - c a ]
(%o5) ------------
a d - b c(%o1) true (%i2)

detout: true;
