det - determinant
det(X) ( m*10^e is the determinant of the square matrix X.
For polynomial matrix det(X) is equivalent to determ(X).
For rational matrices det(X) is equivalent to detr(X).
det computations are based on the Lapack routines DGETRF for real matrices and ZGETRF for the complex case.
x=poly(0,'x'); det([x,1+x;2-x,x^2]) w=ssrand(2,2,4);roots(det(systmat(w))),trzeros(w) //zeros of linear system A=rand(3,3); det(A), prod(spec(A))
