Permanents

Chapter 31 of the Handbook of Linear Algebra (ed. L. Hogben) gives 15 pages of handy facts, examples and references for permanents. The subsection headings are
  1. Basic concepts.
  2. Doubly-stochastic matrices.
  3. Binary matrices.
  4. Non-negative matrices.
  5. (+1,-1)-matrices.
  6. Matrices over the complex numbers.
  7. Subpermanents.
  8. Rook polynomials.
  9. Evaluating permanents.
  10. Connections between determinants and permanents (including immanants).
