To define <math>U</math> in <math>\mathbf p</math>-space, start with a rectangle in <math>\tilde\mathbf p</math>-space, having (signed) differential side-lengths, <math>dp_1, \dots, dp_{n-1}</math> and use these to form the <math>(n-1)\text{-by-}(n-1)</math> diagonal matrix <math>\mathbf D</math>, the columns of which span the rectangle. The differential volume element at the transformation input is the embedded paralleotopeparallelotope <math>U=/\mathbf{ED}/</math> and its volume is:

[[File:Simplex measure pullback.svg|frame|right|For the 1-simplex (blue) embedded in <math>\R^2</math>, when we pull back [[Lebesgue measure]] from [[tangent space]] (coinciding with the simplex), via the embedding <math>p_1\mapsto(p_1,1-p_1)</math>, with Jacobian <math>\mathbf E=\begin{bmatrix}1&-1\end{bmatrix}'</math>, a scaling factor of <math>\sqrt{\mathbf E'\mathbf E}=\sqrt2</math> results.]]

:<math>\operatorname{volume}(U) = \sqrt{\left|\operatorname{det}(\mathbf{DE}'\mathbf{ED})\right|}
