Evaluating Determinants in Matrices

This document discusses two doubts from lecture notes on linear algebra: 1) It presents two different expressions for evaluating the determinant of a transformed matrix T - one from the definition of the determinant and one used in practice. 2) It shows a matrix A written in the notes that is claimed to not be skew-symmetric, and presents a corrected expression for the matrix.

Doubt 1 :

Lecture 6 Notes , Page 9

From the definition of det T  :  a*, b*, c *  det T   a , b , c 

 det T    (a  b) c 

But While Evaluating , we wrote  a*, b*, c *  det


  T   (a  b) T c 1

Doubt 2 :
Lecture 6 Notes , Page 5

 0 a3 a2 
 
Written on right corner , aside , we wrote A   a3 0 a1 
 a 0 
 1 a2
But the matrix is not skew symmetric

 0 a3 a2 
 
Is this the correct expression A   a3 0 a1 
 a a1 0 
 2
