Matrix vs. Determinant — What's the Difference?

The cultural, social, or political environment in which something develops

Determinative.

A mass of fine-grained rock in which gems, crystals, or fossils are embedded

An influencing or determining element or factor

A mould in which something, such as a record or printing type, is cast or shaped

(Mathematics) The value computed from a square matrix of numbers by a rule of combining products of the matrix entries and that characterizes the solvablitity of simultaneous linear equations. Its absolute value can be interpreted as an area or volume.

A rectangular array of quantities or expressions in rows and columns that is treated as a single entity and manipulated according to particular rules

(Immunology) An epitope.

An organizational structure in which two or more lines of command, responsibility, or communication may run through the same individual

A determining factor; an element that determines the nature of something.

A situation or surrounding substance within which something else originates, develops, or is contained

(linear algebra) A scalar that encodes certain characteristics of a given transformation matrix; the unique scalar function over square matrices which is distributive over matrix multiplication, multilinear in the rows and columns, and takes the value 1 for the unit matrix; abbreviated as: det.

The womb.

(biology) A substance that causes a cell to adopt a particular fate.

The formative cells or tissue of a specialized structure such as a hair, nail, claw, or tooth.

(genetics) Something that causes a nuclease to cut at a specified point

See ground substance.

Serving to determine or limit; determinative.

The solid matter in which a fossil or crystal is embedded.

Serving to determine or limit; determinative.

Groundmass.

That which serves to determine; that which causes determination.

A mold or die.

The sum of a series of products of several numbers, these products being formed according to certain specified laws

The principal metal in an alloy, as the iron in steel.

A mark or attribute, attached to the subject or predicate, narrowing the extent of both, but rendering them more definite and precise.

A binding substance, as cement in concrete.

A determining or causal element or factor;

(Mathematics) A rectangular array of numeric or algebraic quantities subject to mathematical operations.

A square matrix used to solve simultaneous equations

Something resembling such an array, as in the regular formation of elements into columns and rows.

Having the power or quality of deciding;

(Computers) The network of intersections between input and output leads in a computer, functioning as an encoder or a decoder.

A mold used in stereotyping and designed to receive positive impressions of type or illustrations from which metal plates can be cast. Also called mat2.

A metal plate used for casting typefaces.

An electroplated impression of a phonograph record used to make duplicate records.

A table of data.

The cavity or mold in which anything is formed.

(biology) The material or tissue in which more specialized structures are embedded.

(biology) An extracellular matrix, the material or tissue between the cells of animals or plants.

(biology) Part of the mitochondrion.

(biology) The medium in which bacteria are cultured.

A term describing a controlled environment or situation in which people act or behave in ways that conform to roles pre-determined by a powerful person(s) who decides how the world is supposed to function (as if the world is but virtual reality and people but brains in a vat).

(mathematics) A rectangular arrangement of numbers or terms having various uses such as transforming coordinates in geometry, solving systems of linear equations in linear algebra and representing graphs in graph theory.

(computing) A two-dimensional array.

(electronics) A grid-like arrangement of electronic components, especially one intended for information coding, decoding or storage.

(geology) A geological matrix.

(archaeology and paleontology) The sediment surrounding and including the artifacts, features, and other materials at a site.

(analytical chemistry) The environment from which a given sample is taken.

In hot metal typesetting, a mold for casting a letter.

In printmaking, the plate or block used, with ink, to hold the image that makes up the print.

(dyeing) The five simple colours (black, white, blue, red, and yellow) from which all the others are formed.

(material science) A binding agent of composite materials, e.g. resin in fibreglass.

The womb.

The womb.

That which gives form or origin to anything

The lifeless portion of tissue, either animal or vegetable, situated between the cells; the intercellular substance.

A rectangular arrangement of symbols in rows and columns. The symbols may express quantities or operations.

A rectangular array of elements (or entries) set out by rows and columns

An enclosure within which something originates or develops (from the Latin for womb)

The body substance in which tissue cells are embedded

The formative tissue at the base of a nail

Mold used in the production of phonograph records, type, or other relief surface
