Description
A commonly encountered n-dimensional integral associated with a relativistic quadratic Lagrangian is explicitly evaluated for arbitrary n. In the limit n→infinity, this integral is given by the usual Van Vleck--Morette determinant. The main advantage of the present approach is that it is simple and direct
