I define unit vectors as

delta[1] := Vector(3, {(1) = 1, (2) = 0, (3) = 0})

delta[2] := Vector(3, {(1) = 0, (2) = 1, (3) = 0})

delta[3] := Vector(3, {(1) = 0, (2) = 0, (3) = 1})

Then I manually take the dot product as

Eq3 := delta[1].delta[1]+delta[1].delta[2]+delta[1].delta[3]+delta[2].delta[1]+delta[2].delta[2]+delta[2].delta[3]+delta[3].delta[1]+delta[3].delta[2]+delta[3].delta[3]

and get

Eq3 := 3

But when I do this

Eq4 := sum(sum(delta[i].delta[j], j = 1 .. 3), i = 1 .. 3)

I get

Eq4 := Vector(3, {(1) = Vector(3, {(1) = 1, (2) = 1, (3) = 1}), (2) = Vector(3, {(1) = 1, (2) = 1, (3) = 1}), (3) = Vector(3, {(1) = 1, (2) = 1, (3) = 1})})

How can I make Maple give me the first result using the sum command?
