Verify for a few representative cases that gives the same results as a Laplace development. First note that if , then is just . Then try letting an even permutation of , and then try an odd permutation, to see that the signs work out correctly. Finally try a case when (that is when two of the indices are equal) to see that the right hand side of is zero because you are evaluating a determinant which has two identical rows.
Any rotation of axes in three dimensions can be described by giving the nine direction cosines of the angle between the axes and the axes. Show that the matrix A of these direction cosines in or is an orthogonal matrix. Hint: See Chapter 3, Section 9. Find and use Problem 3.
