Determinants

2×2 by ad − bc, larger by cofactor expansion, and what the number means.

The determinant of a matrix is the factor by which it scales area (2×2) or volume (3×3), with a sign for orientation. A zero determinant means the matrix squashes space flat and cannot be inverted. The 3D view draws the column vectors and the box they span.

What does a determinant mean geometrically?

It is the factor by which the matrix scales area (2×2) or volume (3×3), with a negative sign if orientation flips. Zero means the matrix flattens space and cannot be undone.

What is an eigenvector?

A direction the matrix does not turn: it only stretches it by the eigenvalue. Along eigenvectors a complicated matrix acts like multiplication by a number.

Why is matrix multiplication not commutative?

Because a matrix is a transformation and AB means "do B, then A". Rotating then reflecting is not the same as reflecting then rotating.
