  text: Consider the square random matrix An = (aij)n,n, where {aij:= a(n)ij , i,
    j = 1, . . . , n} is a collection of independent real random variables with means
    zero and variances one. Under the additional moment condition supn max1≤i,j ≤n
    Ea4ij &lt;∞, we prove Girko's logarithmic law of det An in the sense that as n→∞
    log | detAn| ? (1/2) log(n-1)! d/→√(1/2) log n N(0, 1).
