It am not sure if it deserves to be called "clever" but it is probably the most obvious: In[4]:= Product[If[i != j,x[i]-x[j],1],{i,1,2},{j,1,2}]//Expand Out[4]= 2 2 -x[1] + 2 x[1] x[2] - x[2] on 01.2.8 6:40 PM, Tim Ebringer at drearyslig at hotmail.com wrote: > Does anyone know of a clever way where I can calculate a product, where i > runs from 1 to n, except where i=j? > > Tim. > > > > -- Andrzej Kozlowski Toyama International University JAPAN http://platon.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp/andrzej/ http://sigma.tuins.ac.jp/
