📐Vector Cross Product (3D)
The cross product A×B of two 3D vectors produces a new vector perpendicular to both. Its magnitude equals the area of the parallelogram spanned by the two vectors. Direction follows the right-hand rule.
- 1A×B = [a₂b₃−a₃b₂, a₃b₁−a₁b₃, a₁b₂−a₂b₁]
- 2Magnitude: |A×B| = |A||B|sin(θ)
- 3A×B = −(B×A) (anti-commutative)
A=[1,0,0] · B=[0,1,0]=A×B = [0,0,1] (unit z-vector)x̂ × ŷ = ẑ by right-hand rule

Fun Fact
The cross product only exists in 3D (and 7D) — a curious mathematical fact with deep connections to the structure of division algebras.
