Apr 7, 2015 at 18:11 comment added Joe Silverman Since you were asking about the $j$-volume of the parallelopiped $\mathcal P$ spanned by $v_1,\ldots,v_j$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, you might find the following formula interesting. Let $A$ be the $n$-by-$j$ matrix the contains the vectors $v_1,\ldots,v_j$ as the columns. Let $B_1,B_2,\ldots,B_k$ denote all of the $j$-by-$j$ minors of $A$, so $k=\binom{n}{j}$. Then $\operatorname{Vol}(\mathcal P)^2 = \sum_{i=1}^k \det(B_i)^2$.
