What is the content of an m-parallelotope in n dimensions?

35 Views Asked by At

How do I calculate the m-dimensional content of a parallelotope given by m vectors which are all n-dimensional (m<n)? For example 3 vectors spanning a parallelepiped in high dimensional space.

I found how to use the determinant for n=m, but what about m<n? Is there a quick way with QR decomposition somehow?
