If we expand the determinant of a matrix using determinant
expansion by minors, first in terms of the minors of
order
formed from any
rows, with their complementaries, and second in terms of the minors
of order
formed from any
columns (
),
with their complementaries; then the sum of the
terms of the second expansion which have in common
the elements in the intersection of the selected
rows and
columns is equal to the sum of the
terms of the first expansion which have for one factor the
minors of the
th
order formed from the elements in the intersection of the selected
rows and
columns.
