[Q]: This work is thought to have been commissioned to replace a lost work on a similar topic by Lorenzo Di Medici. Some of the flora depicted in this work include cattails in the lower left corner and pink flowers falling down next to the central figure.

For 10 points, identify this work in which the title goddess stands upon a shell in the ocean, a painting by Sandro Botticelli.

[Q]: Laplaces rule may be used to compute a version of this quantity for its namesake tensor in order to prove the Alon-Tarsi conjecture for Latin squares of even order; that proof uses Cayleys version of this operator. The Cauchy-Binet rule generalizes it to commutative rings, while Leibnizs formula uses permutations of elements to compute it. Setting to zero the result of this operation on lambda I minus A allows us to calculate As eigenvalues. Cramers rule uses ratios of these to solve systems of linear equations. For ten points, name this quantity that is a d minus c b for a 2 by 2 matrix a b c d.
[A]: Science

[Q]: This empire's merchants used quills filled with gold dust as currency; some of those merchants were used as disguised spies.

After a Sparta-like mandatory military education, its men could capture four opponents in battle to become "eagle knights." Long strips of mud were used as "floating gardens" around this empire's central (*) lake. Seven causeways led into its canal-laden capital, where a spicy liquid chocolate was first brewed and two shrines sat atop the Templo Mayor pyramid. For 10 points, name this empire which sacrificed human captives under emperors such as Montezuma.
