By multiplying the second row by t, the third by # ete. and the 
s+ ist by ts, the first s+7z elements of each column assume the same 
power of ¢. From this ensues that

or 2n—1-+s(r—s— 1) indicates the degree of the equation, if the 
terms of the highest degree and the constant term do not disappear. 
The ‘constant term is the product of the numbers 7, 2, 6, 24, .. „and 
a determinant of coefficients aiz; so this does not disappear. And 
taken together the terms of the highest degree 2n — 1+ s(n — s— 1)
