detmat(x_2, x_1; y_2, y_1) = -"area". $

- In 3D, the convention follows the right-hand rule:
suppose vectors $bf(v)_1$, $bf(v)_2$, $bf(v)_3$ are given it that order.
suppose vectors $bf(v)_1$, $bf(v)_2$, $bf(v)_3$ are given in that order.
Curl the fingers of your right hand from $bf(v)_1$ to $bf(v)_2$;
then the signed volume is positive if your thumb points in the direction of $bf(v)_3$
(as in @fig-parallelepiped, for example) and negative otherwise.
