Matlab You will write a function to calculate the determinant of a matrix. It should work for any size matrix. Remember that the determinant can be calculated by multiplying the diagonal elements of an upper right triangular matrix. Your function will take a matrix passed to it and put it in upper right triangular form. You will work down the diagonal beginning at row 1 column 1, then row 2 column 2, etc. Note that the row and column numbers...
