<math>W(q_{k_1}, ..., q_{k_n}) = \det[V_i(q_{k_j})]_{i,j},</math>


where <math>[V_i(q_{k_j})]_{i,j}</math> denotes the ''n''×''n'' matrix whose (''i'', ''j'') entry is <math>V_i(q_{k_j})</math>.
where <math>[V_i(q_{k_j})]_{i,j}</math> denotes the ''n''×''n'' matrix whose (''i'', ''j'') entry is <math>V_i(q_{k_j})</math>. These are ''n''-dimensional quantities, the volumes of the ''n''-dimensional parallelograms spanned by ''q''<sub>''k''<sub>''j''</sub></sub> in the temperament's lattice.
