Line 10:
The objective is to calculate the coefficients {{math|''c<sub>k</sub>''}} of the characteristic polynomial of the {{math|''n''×''n''}} matrix {{mvar|A}},
::<math>p(\lambda)\equiv \det(\lambda I_n-A)=\sum_{k=0}^{n} c_k \lambda^k~,</math>
where, evidently, {{math|''c<sub>n</sub>''}} = 1 and {{math|''c''}}<sub>0</sub> = (
The coefficients are determined recursively from the top down, by dint of the auxiliary matrices {{mvar|M}},
