Syntax	csmat 34495	Syntax for a function generating submatrices.
class subMat1
Definition	df-smat 34496*	Define a function generating submatrices of an integer-indexed matrix. The function maps an index in ((1...𝑀) × (1...𝑁)) into a new index in ((1...(𝑀 − 1)) × (1...(𝑁 − 1))). A submatrix is obtained by deleting a row and a column of the original matrix. Because this function re-indexes the matrix, the resulting submatrix still has the same index set for rows and columns, and its determinent is defined, unlike the current df-subma 22922.
