Square matrix: (v) In a square matrix if each element of a
row / column is zero then the value of its
(i) Symmetric Matrix: AT = A determinant is zero.
(ii) Skew symmetric matrix: A = − A

* Every square matrix can express as the sum
of symmetric and skew symmetric matrix. (vii) In any two row or column are interchanged,
then magnitude of det remains same but sign
A + AT A − AT changes.
A = +

symmetric matrix of odd order is always
zero.
* Properties of determinant:
(viii) The determinant value of an
(i) A = A
