Abstract
Dodgson's method of computing determinants is attractive, but fails if an interior entry of an intermediate matrix is zero. This paper reviews Dodgson's method and introduces a generalization, the double-crossing method, that provides a workaround for many interesting cases. © THE MATHEMATICAL ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA.
