MA 265 Chapter 3 Sections 3.1-3.2

To understand determinants, you must first know about permutations.

If D = {1, 2,....,n} a set of integers from 1 to n in ascending order, then a permutation is the rearrangement of an integer in D.

Example:

If D = {6, 7, 8, 9}, then 7689 would be a permutation of D. This corresponds to the function f: D→ D defined by
