Laplace expansion
In linear algebra, the Laplace expansion, named after Pierre-Simon Laplace, also called cofactor expansion, is an expression for the determinant |"B"| of an "n" × "n" matrix "B" that is a weighted sum of the determinants of "n" sub-matrices (or minors) of "B", each of size ("n"−1) × ("n"−1). The Laplace expansion is of didactic interest for its simplicity and as one of several ways to view and compute
