Matrix
The Det function is a placeholder for representing the determinant of the matrix A. It is used in conjunction with mod and modp1 which define the coefficient domain as described below.
The call computes the determinant of the matrix in characteristic m which may not not be prime. The entries in A may be integers, rationals, polynomials, or in general, rational functions in parameters over a finite field.
The call computes the determinant of the matrix where p is a prime integer and the entries of A are modp1 polynomials using fraction-free Gaussian elimination.
