Statement

Let $n\in\mathbb{N}$ , and let

A=(a_{ij})_{1\le i,j\le n}

be an $n\times n$ real matrix. The determinant of $A$ is the real number

\det(A)=\sum_{\sigma\in S_n}\operatorname{sgn}(\sigma)\,a_{1,\sigma(1)}\cdots a_{n,\sigma(n)},

where $S_n$ is the set of permutations from the permutation definition and $\operatorname{sgn}(\sigma)$ is the sign from the sign definition.
