Development of determinants took place while mathematicians were trying to solve a system of simultaneous linear equations.

Mathematicians defined the symbol
as determinant of order 2 and the four numbers arranged in row and column were called its elements. Its value was taken as a1b2 – a2b1 which the same as denominator.
This kind of definition helped then to state the solution of the simultaneous equation as,
The value of determinant of a (1 × 1) or order 1 matrix [a] is defined ...
