e
always found an invertible matrix.  No singular matrices so far.

So, I have this question:

         Given an  N by N  matrix with integer entries
         chosen (with replacement) from the set of
         integers {1, 2, 3, ..., K}, what is the
         probability, as a function of N and K, that
         the determinant of the matrix will be zero?
