The value of this expression is the subject of Hadamard's inequality and the Cauchy–Binet formula. One method of calculating this expression involves cofactors and uses the Laplace expansion, and a type named for a Polish mathematician that can determine linear independence is known as the Wronskian. The area of a parallelogram is the absolute value of this expression, and invertible matrices have non-zero values for it. This expression can be used in Cramer's rule to solve a system of linear equations. For 10 points, name this value that can be computed as ad minus bc for a two by two square matrix.
