Calculus III: The Cross Product (Level 2 of 9)

This video tutorial explains the cross product of vectors, starting with a review of the geometric definition and moving to a component-based method. It covers the cross product of unit vectors and introduces the use of determinants to simplify calculations. The tutorial concludes with a comparison between dot and cross products, highlighting their differences and applications.

What are the components of the cross product between two vectors in space?

What is the mnemonic used to remember the component definition of the cross product?

How can the cross product be computed using a modified determinant form?

How does the cross product differ from the dot product?
