A special number that can be calculated from a square matrix is known as the Determinant of a square matrix. The Numpy provides us the feature to calculate the determinant of a square matrix using numpy.linalg.det() function.

Syntax:

numpy.linalg.det(array)

Example 1: Calculating Determinant of a 2X2 Numpy matrix using numpy.linalg.det() function

Python3




# importing Numpy package
import numpy as np
  
# creating a 2X2 Numpy matrix
n_array = np.array([[50, 29], [30, 44]])
  
# Displaying the Matrix
print("Numpy Matrix is:")
print(n_array)
  
# calculating the determinant of matrix
det = np.linalg.det(n_array)
  
print("\nDeterminant of given 2X2 matrix:")
print(int(det))


Output:

In the above example, we calculate the Determinant of the 2X2 square matrix.

Example 2: Calculating Determinant of a 3X3 Numpy matrix using numpy.linalg.det() function

Python3




# importing Numpy package
import numpy as np
  
# creating a 3X3 Numpy matrix
n_array = np.array([[55, 25, 15],
                    [30, 44, 2],
                    [11, 45, 77]])
  
# Displaying the Matrix
print("Numpy Matrix is:")
print(n_array)
  
# calculating the determinant of matrix
det = np.linalg.det(n_array)
  
print("\nDeterminant of given 3X3 square matrix:")
print(int(det))


Output:

In the above example, we calculate the Determinant of the 3X3 square matrix.

Example 3: Calculating Determinant of a 5X5 Numpy matrix using numpy.linalg.det() function

Python3




# importing Numpy package
import numpy as np
  
# creating a 5X5 Numpy matrix
n_array = np.array([[5, 2, 1, 4, 6],
                    [9, 4, 2, 5, 2],
                    [11, 5, 7, 3, 9],
                    [5, 6, 6, 7, 2],
                    [7, 5, 9, 3, 3]])
  
# Displaying the Matrix
print("Numpy Matrix is:")
print(n_array)
  
# calculating the determinant of matrix
det = np.linalg.det(n_array)
  
print("\nDeterminant of given 5X5 square matrix:")
print(int(det))


Output:

In the above example, we calculate the Determinant of the 5X5 square matrix.
