The Cross Product of Vectors

A detailed tutorial on the cross product of two vectors. Step by step tutorial including several examples of how to find the cross product for reference.

A cross product is very similar to a dot product. However, the result of a cross product is a vector, and the result of a dot product is a scalar. In mathematical terms, the cross product can be defined as . Theta represents the meausre of the angle between a and b, and n is a unit vector perpendicular to both a and b. The vector this forms is a right-handed system.
