Document Summary

, an be n linearly independent vectors in. , then the volume of the n-box is: In case we have an m-box in rm, then its volume would be |det(a)|. Note: (1)a is an m n matrix. We cannot get the determinant of a matrix which is not a square matrix! (2) at a is a square matrix. (3) at a is a symmetric matrix. (4) if m = n, then: A 1-box in rm: the 1-box determined by the vector a1 is the line segment pdet(at a) = pdet(at )det(a) = pdet(a)det(a) = p(det(a))2 = |det(a)|. from the origin to the tip of a1. It"s volume is: pdet(at a) = vuuut(cid:2) a1 (cid:3) the length of a1. Thus the length of a 1-box is its length. a1. = a1 a1 = pka1k2 = ka1k, A 2-box in rm: it is a parallelogram with a vertex at the origin.
