In mathematics, the cross product or vector product is a binary operation on two vectors in a three-dimensional oriented Euclidean vector space, and is denoted by the symbol . Given two linearly independent vectors a and b, the cross product, a × b, is a vector that is perpendicular to both a and b, and thus normal to the plane containing them. It has many applications in mathematics, physics, engineering, and computer programming. It should not be confused with the dot product.
