The determinant of a square matrix, denoted det(A) , is a function mapping matrices to real scalars. The determinant is equal to the product of all the matrix’s eigenvalues. The absolute value of the determinant can be thought of as a measure of how much multiplication by the matrix expands or contracts space. If the determinant is 0, then space is contracted completely along at least one dimension, causing it to lose all of its volume. If the determinant is 1, then the transformation is volume-preserving.
