Oct 8, 2015 at 15:43 comment added Gerhard Paseman Indeed. He reworked his research several times, with posts in 1890 and 1906. A copy of one of them can be found here: archive.org/details/theoryofdetermin01muiruoft . People were saying to him "Inter-net? Whereof speakest thou?", to which Muir calmly replied "Just wait."

Oct 7, 2015 at 19:08 comment added Gerhard Paseman I think the Wikipedia entry of Cramer's rule is quite accessible and well motivated (and relevant here). Also, Thomas Muir posted a history of determinants (which existed before matrix notation!) and their development. You can find both resources on the web. Also, the question could use an example of what shape is wanted for the answer: pointers to the literature, a copy of the Wikipedia article, a category theory or foundational approach, or something understood by someone with only one or two linear algebra courses behind them.

Oct 7, 2015 at 8:55 comment added Francesco Polizzi Try to look at the inverse matrix by finding the indeterminate entries with the Cramer's rule (which is rather old mathematics), and the matrix of cofactors appears quite naturally. That said, this is not a research question, so I vote to close.
