DESCRIPTION:

These are objects of class "det" They represent the determinant of a Matrix.

---

GENERATION:

This class of objects is returned from det methods.

---

METHODS:

The "det" class of objects has methods for the following generic functions: print

---

STRUCTURE:

The following components must be included in a legitimate "det" object:

modulus:

Either the modulus of the determinant of x or its logarithm. A logical attribute "logarithm" is included to indicate whether the true modulus or its logarithm is given.

sign:

the sign of the determinant of x. For complex matrices, this will usually be a complex number with unit modulus.

A copy of the call to det is returned as an attribute, as well as workspace information if provided by the method.
