<p><big> Alternating </big></p>
<p>A main property of the Vandermonde polynomial is that it is alternating in the entries, meaning that permuting the  by an <a href="page.php?w=odd_permutation">odd permutation</a> changes the sign, while permuting them by an <a href="page.php?w=even_permutation">even permutation</a></p><p>
