Chapter 1, Problem 1.11P
To determine

Show that the triple scalar product can be written as (A×B)C=|A1A2A3B1B2B3C1C2C3| and also the product is unaffected by an interchange of the scalar and vector product operations. Finally compute the volume of the parallelepiped defined by the three vectors A,B,C.
