We also give an almost visual proof of Cramer's rule and a result of Chapman-Costas-santos regarding the determinant of sum of matrices. Also we find a new identity expressing permanent of sum of matrices. Besides, we give a graphical interpretation of Newton-Girard identity.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-07-31T10:45:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A19", "05A05", "05C30", "05C38" ], "keywords": [ "combinatorial proofs", "interesting linear algebraic identities", "identity expressing permanent", "visual proof", "newton-girard identity" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
