A lesson devoted to Determinants. It includes 11 calculated determinants, including a universal method for calculating a determinant of any order, shown on the 4×4 and 5×5 cases.

I also show how to zero a row or column using an elementary operation, which radically shortens and simplifies, for example, calculating determinants of 4×4 and higher-order matrices.
