Linear Algebra: Chapter 3 Part 3

This document discusses determinants and invertible matrices. It defines the determinant of a matrix as well as the adjoint and inverse of a matrix. It states that a square matrix is invertible if its determinant is not equal to 0, and provides the formula for finding the inverse of an invertible matrix using its determinant and adjoint. The document also discusses how determinants can be used to determine whether systems of linear equations have unique solutions or an infinite number of solutions.
