Hello,

On a given matrix det returns different results whether
I use the method "qr" or "eivenvalues".

The matrix:
> m2
             [,1]         [,2]        [,3]
[1,] 9.822616e+09 3.841723e+09    79790.09
[2,] 3.841723e+09 1.502536e+09    31251.82
[3,] 7.979009e+04 3.125182e+04 64156419.36

> det(m2, method="eigenvalues")
[1] -9.331893e+19


> det(m2, method="qr")
[1] 9.331893e+19

I think the result based on the eigenvalues is correct.

Good night.
	Armin
