Hello, it's me again. Same basic question: What is a determinant beyond just a number? And what is an inverse matrix beyond just a bunch of numbers in rows and columns? For that matter, what is the original matrix A beyond just numbers? Thanks. In these examples they are attached to equations, which can be represented with a graph. But I know that beyond that they become just numbers, from which more numbers are derived. So I think it's very important to keep referring back to equations, expressions and graphs to put some meaning into them.
