This mathematical operation obeys a version of the right hand rule and is anticommutative in that switching the order of the vectors gives negative the original result.
This mathematical operation obeys a version of the right hand rule and is anticommutative in that switching the order of the vectors gives negative the original result. The magnitude of the result equals the product of the magnitude of the original two vectors times the sin of the angle between them, implying that the result will be zero if applied to two parallel vectors. Resulting in a vector perpendicular to both original vectors, FTP, what is this product of three dimensional vectors notationally represented by an x?
