I don't understand the anti-determinant brigade. Many linear algebra books don't don't start with determinants.


They're fine where they are useful, I guess, but my undergrad put way too much emphasis on them when they're not intuitive, don't help (me) much with comprehension, and aren't useful in that many cases compared to the other techniques.
