% DET DET Determinant of a Matrix
% 
% Usage
% 
% Calculates the determinant of a matrix.  Note that for all but
% very small problems, the determinant is not particularly useful.
% The condition number cond gives a more reasonable estimate as
% to the suitability of a matrix for inversion than comparing det(A)
% to zero.  In any case, the syntax for its use is
% 
%   y = det(A)
% 
% where A is a square matrix.
