Hi everyone,
This is a pretty high school question...
I picked up a book on linear algebra and was going through the chapter
on vectors and vector multiplication...
The dot product is very clear.
Howeever, with the vector cross product, it says that the cross product
vector is always normal to the plane containing the two vectors that
are being multiplied.
Though I do not question the validity of the statement. However, is
there a proof that shos that the cross product is always normal. I am
probably having a bit of a tough time visualizing the cross product in
the geometrical sense.
Anyone out there who could clarify these doubts fo me?
Thanks,
P
