The Cross Product

The cross product is an operation between two 3-dimensional vectors that returns a third vector orthogonal (i.e., perpendicular) to the first two. For vectors $u=\langle u_{1},u_{2},u_{3}\rangle$ and $v=\langle v_{1},v_{2},v_{3}\rangle$, the cross product of $u$ and $v$ (notated as $u\times v$is $w=$
