No, a square matrix A is not invertible if its determinant |A| is equal to 0. A matrix is invertible (also known as non-singular or non-degenerate) if and only if its determinant is non-zero. If the determinant is zero, the matrix is singular and does not have an inverse.
Invertibility requires that the matrix represents a transformation that can be "undone." When the determinant is zero, it means the matrix collapses space (or at least reduces its dimension), making it impossible to reverse the transformation uniquely.

An ingredient is a substance that forms part of a mixture (in a general sense). For example, in cooking, recipes specify which ingredients are used to prepare a specific dish. Many commercial products contain secret ingredients that are purported to make them better than competing products. In the pharmaceutical industry, an active ingredient is that part of a formulation that yields the effect expected by the customer.
National laws usually require prepared food products to display a list of ingredients, and specifically require that certain additives be listed.
In most developed countries, the law requires that ingredients be listed according to their relative weight[1] in the product. If an ingredient itself consists of more than one ingredient (such as the cookie pieces which are a part of "cookies and cream" flavor ice cream), then that ingredient is listed by what percentage of the total product it occupies, with its own ingredients displayed next to it in brackets.
The term constituent is often used to refer to substances that constitute the tissue of living beings. Thus all ingredients are constituents, but not all constituents are ingredients.

The term "wild man" has a few different interpretations and historical contexts:
- Mythological/Folklore Creature: In European folklore, the "wild man" (also known as a "woodwose" or "wudewasa") is a mythical figure resembling a hairy, primitive human or hominid, often associated with the forest. They were typically depicted as living outside of civilization and embodying untamed nature.
- Historical Encounters: Throughout history, there have been accounts of individuals living in the wilderness, isolated from society. These accounts sometimes led to the "wild man" label, although these were cases of feral children or hermits who had chosen to live apart from others.
- Figurative Use: The term can also be used figuratively to describe someone with uncivilized or savage behavior.
