Abstract. In this paper we present a modern method to compute the determinants of 3 3 matrices.
This method gives an easy schemes to compute the determinants of 3 3 matrices. It also gives
fast approximation as described only five elements of the determinant. This modern method creates
opportunities to find other modern methods to compute the determinants of higher orders, also.
Keywords. Methods to compute the determinant of 3 3 matrix
