One of the few comprehensive single-volume treatments of determinants, this compilation features nearly all of the known facts about determinants up to the early 1930s. The text begins with the basic elements of permutations and combinations and sets down the notation and general principles of simple determinants, with a full discussion of such topics as row and column transformation, expansion, multiplication, minors, and symmetry.
