    Just a stub superdeterminant, aka Berezinian. Added a reference to quasideterminant and universal localization. Extended the list of related entries at matrix.

    Thanks. Added some stuff to superdeterminant (still no real content though).

    Thanks for ftoc. Are you against using word supermathematics (as opposed to long description super-algebra and super-geometry) ?

    I am not against it. But mathematics is more than algebra and geometry; and presently the toc is only about algebra and geometry in the super context.

    I find this is an important distinction that standard texts don’t usually make explicit: before we come to super-algebra and super-geometry, there are already super-sets, super infinity-groupoids, etc; and then super-algebra/geometry is algebra/geometry internal to such a super topos.

    What is often highlighted is that super-algebra over a field can be understood as algebra internal to the non-trivially braided symmetric monoidal category of vector spaces. But the internalization-perspective on super-mathematics really goes much deeper.

    Therefore I would reserve a floating toc supermathematics for something more general.

    I have listed several well known references at superdeterminant.
