The vector cross product.
Syntax
-
CrossProduct(u, v)-
uandvare three-dimensional vectors
-
Description
If u and v are three-dimensional (real or complex) vectors, then u × v is the vector cross product of u and v. The product is complex iff at least one of the operands is complex.
Examples
a ≔ ❨4, 1, 2❩; b ≔ ❨1, 0, 2❩;
CrossProduct(a, b)
⎛2 ⎞ e⎜−6⎟ ⎝−1⎠
Notes
The × operator can also be used for the vector cross product.
