Use the notation and derive the following two identities:
where denotes the triple scalar product
.
Solution.
In attempting the following proof, extensive reference was made to the article found on the Internet (http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucappgu/seminars/levi-civita(DOT)pdf):
This completes the proof of identity (1).
For identity (2), I can make use of identity (1) by substituting for
,
for
, and
for
, and get the following:
This completes the proof of identity (2).
