Kirchhoff's Determinants also Detect Minimal Spanning Trees in Weighted Graphs

Kirchhoff used certain minor determinants in the reduced incidence matrix A of a graph G to detect the spanning trees of G, and he showed that det AA' is precisely equal to the number of spanning trees in G. We show that some of his results can be generalized to weighted graphs.
