    The document discusses vector multiplication and defines a cross product. It states that the cross product of two vectors a and b, written as a x b, produces a vector that is orthogonal to both a and b. The length of the cross product represents the size of the parallelogram formed by the two vectors.

    : “n” meaning “normal vector” perpendicular to both a and b

    : An amount of difference between their directions


    : represents a size of a parallelogram
    : a x b is orthogonal to both “a” and “b”
