> The novel approach taken here banishes determinants to the end of the book.
Big fan of this approach! Though I have warmed up to determinants ever since I saw 3Blue1Brown give a fairly intuitive explanation for them [0].
I'm kind of curious as to how they covered eigenvalues/the characteristic polynomial without determinants. Maybe they just jumped straight to diagonalization?
