Let d_n be the determinant of the n×n matrix whose entries, from left to right and then from top to bottom, are cos 1, cos 2, ..., cos n^2 . (For example, d_3 = determinant (((cos 1 cos 2 cos 3)),((cos 4 cos 5 cos 6)),((cos 7 cos 8 cos 9))). The argument of cos is always in radians not degrees.) Evalue lim_(n→∞) d_(n.)
