Determinant of Matrix Product/Proof 3

Proof
The Cauchy-Binet Formula gives:
 * $\ds \map \det {\mathbf A \mathbf B} = \sum_{1 \mathop \le j_1 \mathop < j_2 \mathop < \cdots \mathop < j_m \le n} \map \det {\mathbf A_{j_1 j_2 \ldots j_m} } \map \det {\mathbf B_{j_1 j_2 \ldots j_m} }$

where:
 * $\mathbf A$ is an $m \times n$ matrix
 * $\mathbf B$ is an $n \times m$ matrix.


 * For $1 \le j_1, j_2, \ldots, j_m \le n$:
 * $\mathbf A_{j_1 j_2 \ldots j_m}$ denotes the $m \times m$ matrix consisting of columns $j_1, j_2, \ldots, j_m$ of $\mathbf A$.


 * $\mathbf B_{j_1 j_2 \ldots j_m}$ denotes the $m \times m$ matrix consisting of rows $j_1, j_2, \ldots, j_m$ of $\mathbf B$.

When $m = n$, the only set $j_1, j_2, \ldots, j_m$ that fulfils $1 \le j_1 < j_2 < \cdots < j_m \le n$ is $\set {1, 2, \ldots, n}$.

Hence the result.
