They formed a matrix by stacking $gamma'(t)$ and $gamma''(t)$ next to each other as column vectors. You can also regard it as the cross product of the two vectors if you extend both with a $z=0$ coordinate and take the z component of the resulting vector (that way you can relate it to the 3d formula in a way).

    In general, the determinant of $n$ vectors $v_1$, $v_2$, $dots$, $v_n$ in $mathbb R^n$ is the determinant of the matrix whose columns are $v_1$, $dots$, $v_n$ (in that order).



    Seen as an application whose inputs are vectors, the determinant has nice properties:



    1. multilinear, that is linear in each variable:
      $$det(v_1,dots, a v_j+b w_j,dots,v_n)
      =
      a det(v_1,dots, v_j,dots,v_n)
      + bdet(v_1,dots, w_j,dots,v_n)$$


    2. alternating: switching two vectors transforms the determinant in its opposite


    $$det(v_1,dots, v_i, dots, v_j,dots,v_n) = det(v_1,dots, v_j, dots, v_i,dots,v_n)$$



    1. The value on the canonical basis $(e_1,dots,e_n)$ of $mathbb R^n$ is $1$.

    $$det(e_1,dots,e_n) = 1 $$



    Actually, it can be proved that the determinant is the unique alternating multilinear form whose value on the canonical basis is $1$. Many (most?) Linear Algebra books use this as a definition of the determinant (before extending the definition to matrices and then linear applications). I think it is equivalent but more satisfying than introducing the determinant by the strange "expansion along a row" formula most PreCalculus textbook use.

    $begingroup$

    Vectors in a plane $v,w$ can be written as column matrices: $$v=beginbmatrixv_1\v_2endbmatrix, w=beginbmatrixw_1\w_2endbmatrix.$$ Put several of such column matrices side by side, and you get a square matrix: $$(v,w)=beginbmatrixv_1&w_1\v_2&w_2endbmatrix.$$ The determinant $det(v,w)$ is simply the determinant of this square matrix: $$det(v,w)=detbeginbmatrixv_1&w_1\v_2&w_2endbmatrix.$$

              I believe the issue here was not that he didn't know the definition of determinant, but rather the fact that he had a determinant of two vectors rather than a matrix.

              Vectors in a plane $v,w$ can be written as column matrices: $$v=beginbmatrixv_1\v_2endbmatrix, w=beginbmatrixw_1\w_2endbmatrix.$$ Put several of such column matrices side by side, and you get a square matrix: $$(v,w)=beginbmatrixv_1&w_1\v_2&w_2endbmatrix.$$ The determinant $det(v,w)$ is simply the determinant of this square matrix: $$det(v,w)=detbeginbmatrixv_1&w_1\v_2&w_2endbmatrix.$$
