Comments

a(5) = 1 + 2*(A085000(5) - (number of terms of A088238)).

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..6.

Example

a(2)=6 because the determinants of the 24 2 X 2 matrices whose entries are all permutations of 1,2,3,4 can only assume the values -10,-5,-2,2,5,10.

Mathematica

f[n_] := (p = Permutations[ Table[i, {i, n^2}]]; Length[ Union[ Table[ Det[ Partition[ p[[i]], n]], {i, 1, (n^2)!}]]]) (* Robert G. Wilson v *)
