Hi Mathematica experts, I was teaching Cramer's rule using Mathematica and one of my students asked me how to input a determinant in the traditional way using Mathematica. I wish the determinant A of order 2, 3 or higher to appear like |A| with the elements enclosed between two vertical bars by the side. Is there a clean way to do this in Mathematica? Thanks Chee
