Determinants
This exercise sheet consists of two parts: at rst additional exercises are given the solutions of which
are provided with the lecture slides and can serve you as further blueprints when solving similar tasks.
Then, the actual homework assignments are stated. Please, hand-in your results of the homework
assignments through MSTeams at the date and time specied in MSTeams.
