The Hill one arises in the solution of a second-order differential equation. The Wronskian and Jacobian are examples of them, and they can be interpreted as being equivalent to the volume of a parallelepiped. They are used in solving systems of equations in (*) Cramer's rule, and when this value is zero, the corresponding matrix is singular. For 10 points, name this quantity, which is defined only for square matrices, and
