☜	$%MTXDET^MATH M[UMPS] by Example					☞

Approved for inclusion in a future M[UMPS] language standard as part of the library for Matrix Mathematics.

This function calculates the determinant of a square matrix. The function value is the value of the determinant.

Assuming that matrix DEMO contains:

 2    1   –1    2
 1    3    2   –3
–1    2    1   –1
 2   –3   –1    4

this function will return:

The MDC has approved code to approximate the return value of this function. Implementors are encouraged to provide more accurate and efficient code).
