A permutation is a set because it is an element of , and it is a bijection [n]→[n], hence a map; det is a map from the square matrices to the reals, so its value at a matrix is a real number.
Let . Then , by Natural Numbers as Indices: ℕ ⊆ ℕ₀, 1 ∈ ℕ₀, and the Two Readings of an Operation from 1 to n §naturals, and Permutations of a Set and the Set of Permutations of [n] applies to .
Clause permutation-map. Let . Since is an element of the class , is a set by Classes, Membership, Sets and Proper Classes §set. Hence Permutations of a Set and the Set of Permutations of [n] §membership applies to and gives that is a bijection . By Injective, Surjective and Bijective Functions between Classes §bijective, bijectivity is defined for a map between classes, in the sense of Functions, Values of a Function, and Functions from One Class to Another §map; so a bijection from to is in particular a map from to , and is a map.
Clause determinant-value. Let . By Determinant of a Real Square Matrix §determinant, is the map of The Determinant Map and the Matrices Formed from a Square Matrix by Reindexing Rows, Replacing a Row and Deleting a Row and a Column Exist and Are Unique §determinant, and is its value at . So Values, Restriction and Equality of a Map, and the Map as a Defined Set Symbol §graph, applied to the map between the sets and (Real Matrices: the Set of Real m x n Matrices with Their Entrywise Operations §matrices, The Real Numbers §reals) and the point , gives , that is, .
