Update on Popularity of “Hyperdeterminant”

I am sure you all remember how I looked into the unpopularity of the word “Hyperdetermiant” according to the returns from a google search. It came second from bottom in a random list of mathematical terms.

That was nearly two years ago so I thought it would be interesting to recount and see how things have changed. Here is the results showing the count then and now along with the percentage rise
