An Elementary Proof of Laplace's Formula on Determinants
Aversa, Vincenzo; De Simone, Anna
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v43 n3 p418-420 2012
A well known result due to Laplace states the equivalence between two different ways of defining the determinant of a square matrix. We give here a short proof of this result, in a form that can be presented, in our opinion, at any level of undergraduate studies.
