Somebody (myself, if I'll win the laziness) should add something about the formal definition of determinant (an alternating function of the rows or columns etc. ...), of which its unicity and how to compute it are consequences. --Goochelaar
...and add to that the foundation of the definition, which is something to do with multilinear functions.
Also worth mentioning that historically, the concept of determinant came before the matrix.
