Hello to all!
Is it true, that "determinant(M) computes the determinant of M by a
method similar to Gaussian elimination" ?
I've try:
-------------------------------
A:genmatrix(lambda([i,j],random(20)),15,15)$
triangularize(A)$
-------------------------------
- evaluation took 0.0800 seconds (0.0800 elapsed)
-------------------------------
determinant(A);
-------------------------------
- evaluation took 11.3000 seconds (11.3000 elapsed)
This is very strange, isn't it?
