ABSTRACT
The vector product, also called cross product, is an operation defined on the
three-dimensional Euclidean space that associates to each pair of vectors a
third vector in a prescribed manner inspired on both geometrical and physical
applications, for instance, the velocity vector of a point within a solid body
rotating steadily about an axis and the angular momentum about the origin of
a moving particle. In Geometry, the equation of a straight line can be written
in terms of a vector product.
