The geometric interpretation of the determinant of a matrix 2x2
Consider the unit square of two dimensional space .
Multiply a column by a scalar.
Multiply each column vector by scalars.
Then, change a single column vector and so on
The absolute value of the determinant of a 2x2 matrix represents the area of the parallelogram spanned by the column vectors of the matrix.
