Matrix Trace and Determinant
For a matrix $ \mathbf{M}, $ the trace of $ \mathbf{M} $ is defined as the sum of its diagonal elements. For example, \[\operatorname{Tr} \begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{pmatrix} = a + d.\]Given $ \operatorname{Tr} (\mathbf{A}) = 2 $ and $ \operatorname{Tr} (\mathbf{A}^2) = 30, $ find $ \det \mathbf{A} $.
