  Determinant - LoveToKnow 1911
To indicate the method of proof, observe that the determinant on the left-hand side, qua linear function of its columns, may be I The reason is the connexion with the corresponding theorem for the multiplication of two matrices.
The germ of the theory of determinants is to be found in the writings of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz (1693), who incidentally discovered certain properties when reducing the eliminant of a system of linear equations.
Determinants composed of binomial coefficients have been studied by V. von Zeipel; the expression of definite integrals as determinants by A. Tissot and A. Enneper, and the expression of continued fractions as determinants by Jacobi, V. Nachreiner, S. Gunther and E. Furstenau.

 Augustin Louis Cauchy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1833 the deposed king Charles X of France summoned Cauchy to be tutor to his grandson, the duke of Bordeaux, an appointment which enabled Cauchy to travel and thereby become acquainted with the favourable impression which his investigations had made.
Returning to Paris in 1838, Cauchy refused a proffered chair at the Collège de France, but in 1848, the oath having been suspended, he resumed his post at the École Polytechnique, and when the oath was reinstituted after the coup d'état of 1851, Cauchy and François Arago were exempted from it.
Cauchy had two brothers: Alexandre Laurent Cauchy (1792–1857), who became a president of a division of the court of appeal in 1847, and a judge of the court of cassation in 1849; and Eugène François Cauchy (1802–1877), a publicist who also wrote several mathematical works.

 Determinant Summary
Determinants are used to characterize invertible matrices (namely as those matrices, and only those matrices, with non-zero determinants), and to explicitly describe the solution to a system of linear equations with Cramer's rule.
Determinants are used to calculate volumes in vector calculus: the absolute value of the determinant of real vectors is equal to the volume of the parallelepiped spanned by those vectors.
The Pfaffian is an analog of the determinant for

 CAUCHY, A.L.(1789-1857)
Cauchy was born in Paris in 1789 and recceived his early education from his father.
Cauchy wrote extensively and profoundly in both pure and applied mathe matics, and he can probably be ranked next to Euler in volume of output.
Cauchy's work exhibits great attention to rigor, and as such was largely reaponsible for inspiring other mathematicians to attempt the banishment of blind formal manipulation and of intuitive proofs from analysis.

 My Love for Mathematics
In 1815, at the age of 26, Cauchy was made Professor of Mathematics at the Ecole Polytechnique and was recognized as the leading mathematician in France.
Cauchy and his contemporary Gauss were the last men to know the whole of mathematics as known at their time, and both made important contributions to nearly every branch, both pure and applied, as well as to physics and astronomy.
Cauchy was the founder of complex function theory and a pioneer in the theory or permutation groups and determinants.

 Read This: Conflicts Between Generalization, Rigor, and Intuition
As great as Cauchy was, the second half of his career, after his return to Paris in 1838, would have been more successful if there had been someone he felt comfortable discussing mathematical ideas with on level terms; he would have published less, and better.
This, Cauchy's first great paper, was also the first work to use the word determinant in the modern sense.) But neither Ampère nor Binet was quite a strong enough mathematician to be what the mature Cauchy really needed.
The author discusses at some length whether the work of Cauchy and others with infinitely small quantities ought to be considered non-standard analysis, in the sense of Abraham Robinson and the calculus textbook of Jerome Keisler.

Gram determinants were introduced by J.P. Gram [1] and, independently, by K.A. Andreev [2] in the context of problems of expansion of functions into orthogonal series and the best quadratic approximation to functions.
The Gram determinant is used in many problems of linear algebra and function theory: studies of linear dependence of systems of vectors or functions, orthogonalization of systems of functions, construction of projections, and also in studies on the properties of systems of functions.

 The flagged Cauchy determinant   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
We consider a flagged form of the Cauchy determinant, for which we provide a combinatorial interpretation in terms of nonintersecting lattice paths.
In combination with the standard determinant for the enumeration of nonintersecting lattice paths, we are able to give a new proof of the Cauchy identity for Schur functions.
Moreover, by choosing different starting and end points for the lattice paths, we are led to a lattice path proof of an identity of Gessel which expresses a Cauchy-like sum of Schur functions in terms of the complete symmetric functions.

Starting with plane partitions possessing certain type of symmetries, many combinatorial objects came to the fore, the enumeration of which was the subject of intensive studies during the last twenty years, with of course, seminal contributions of George Andrews.
Dividing this determinant by some straightforward factors, one is reduced to studying a symmetric polynomial in two sets of variables.
In the same run, we reduce the dimension by 1 and factorize the determinant associated to the Bethe model of a 1-dimensional gas of bosons.

Then the classical Cauchy identity on Schur functions is stated as follows: \begin{theo} \label{CauchyIdentity} For $n\geq 1$, we have \begin{equation} \prod_{i,j=1}^{n}\frac{1}{1-x_iy_j}=\sum_{\lambda}s_{\lambda}(\x)s_{\lambda}(\y), \end{equation} where the sum ranges over all partitions with length $\leq n$.
The key ingredient in our lattice path construction is a flagged form of the Cauchy determinant with respect to the variable sets.
Therefore, we have accomplished an algebraic proof of the equivalence of flagged Cauchy determinant \eqref{latticecauchy} and the determinant \eqref{seconddet} in the full variable sets.

Once the form is computed, it is easy to compute the determinant, inverse, the solution of linear systems (even for underdetermined or overdetermined systems), the rank, and solutions to linear programming problems.
In numerical work, the determinant is not a reliable indicator of singularity, and other data, such as the size of the matrix elements encountered during pivoting, are preferred.
The determinant of A is equal to the product of the determinants of the factors, and hence is easily computed: the determinant of P is plus or minus 1, and that of L is 1, and that of U is simply the product of its diagonal elements.

Jacobi's name is probably best known to undergraduates from the Jacobian, an n×n determinant formed from a set of n functions in n unknowns.
Jacobi was certainly not the first to use it; the "Jacobian" already appears in an 1815 paper of Cauchy.
But Jacobi did write a long memoir about it in 1841, and proved that the Jacobian of n functions vanishes if and only if the functions are related (Cauchy had only proved the "if" part).

If a determinant (activity in the above case) cannot be a key in the relation, those attributes that depend on the determinant will repeat each time the value for the determinant repeats (see swimming in the original relation above).
To prevent determinant values from repeating it is best to create a separate relation where the determinant is a key (remember keys can't repeat).
A key of a relation is made up of one or more attributes which functionally determine a tuple (all attributes in a relation), but no subset of the key should also determine the tuple.

 AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL MONTHLY -November 2004
In fact, the determinant and characteristic polynomial can be defined for any finite-dimensional algebra over a field (e.g., n-by-n matrices, the quaternions, a finite-degree field extension).
The attempt failed, but only through inadvertence—it is not difficult to derive a correct generalization along the same lines, using two other results in Cauchy’s paper.
I try to argue that if Cauchy had thought more carefully about what he was doing, he might have found the 1-psi-1 formula some seventy years before Ramanujan probably did.

It is remarkable that any 4 X 4 real matrix would yield its determinant, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors by inspection.
Because of the way that the 4-D function is defined as a pair of classical complex functions, the 4-D Cauchy-Riemann equations are immediate [but messy to develop; see Davenport(6), 1991].
The eigenvalues, determinant, and vector norm, of course, are invariant.
