New issue 2730 by [email protected]: Matrix().det() should return 1
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=2730

from the wikipedia entry:

The determinant of the 0-by-0 matrix is 1 as follows from regarding the empty product occurring in the Leibniz formula for the determinant as 1. This value is also consistent with the fact that the identity map from any finite dimensional space to itself has determinant 1, a fact that is often used as a part of the characterization of determinants.

also, should berkowitz_det be renamed as det_berkowitz in keeping with det and det_bareis?
