Mnemonic rule for matrix determinant

Pierre Frédéric Sarrus (10 March 1798, Saint-Affrique - 20 November 1861) was a French mathematician. Sarrus was professor at the University of Strasbourg, France (1826-1856) and member of the Academy of Sciences in Paris (1842). He discovered a mnemonic rule for solving the determinant of a 3-by-3 matrix, named Sarrus' scheme, which provides an easy-to-remember method of working out the determinant of a 3-by-3 matrix.

Pierre Frédéric Sarrus (10 March 1798, Saint-Affrique - 20 November 1861) was a French mathematician.
Sarrus was professor at the University of Strasbourg, France (1826-1856) and member of the Academy of Sciences in Paris (1842). He discovered a mnemonic rule for solving the determinant of a 3-by-3 matrix, named Sarrus' scheme, which provides an easy-to-remember method of working out the determinant of a 3-by-3 matrix (as illustrated below)
