cross: Numerical and Symbolic Cross Product

Description

Computes the cross product of \(n-1\) vectors of length \(n\).

Usage

cross(...)
x %cross% y

Arguments

...

\(n-1\) vectors of length \(n\).

x

numeric or character vector of length 3.

y

numeric or character vector of length 3.

Value

\(n\)-dimensional vector orthogonal to the \(n-1\) vectors.

Functions

• %cross%: binary operator for 3-dimensional cross products.
