Section 1 Goals
- Calculate algebraically a cross product of two vectors.
- Understand how the cross product of two vectors \(\vec{v} \times \vec{w}\) is related geometrically to the vectors \(\vec{v}\) and \(\vec{w}\text{.}\)
- Recall and use algebraic properties of the cross product.
- Understand and use the cross product in a variety of applications such as finding areas or finding equations of planes.
