Stirling numbers of the first and second kind play an important part in many branches of mathematics, in particular in combinatorial analysis and statistics. For their definition and properties we refer to (5) where a whole chapter is devoted to their study. Stirling numbers have been generalized in many ways. One generalization is given in (1). In this paper we generalize the results of (1) to n dimensions. In order to simplify the notation we use methods of linear algebra.
