Definition:Vandermonde Determinant/Formulation 2/Also presented as

Definition
The Vandermonde determinant of order $n$ can be presented in various orientations, for example:


 * $V_n = \begin {vmatrix}

x_1  &  x_2    & \cdots &  x_n \\ {x_1}^2 & {x_2}^2 & \cdots & {x_n}^2 \\ \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ {x_1}^n & {x_2}^n & \cdots & {x_n}^n \end{vmatrix}$
