Vectors - The vector product

Please select a resource from the list below.

Quick Reference

  • The vector product
    This leaflet defines the vector product of two vectors and gives some examples. It shows how the vector product can be evaluated using determinants.

Teach Yourself

  • The vector product
    One of the ways in which two vectors can be combined is known as the vector product. When we calculate the vector product of two vectors the result, as the name suggests, is a vector.

A transcript of each video should be available in the Teach Yourself section above.

These videos require Windows Media Player (v10).

Please note: You may experience trouble with more recent upgrades to Internet Explorer (now v.7) and Media Player (now v.11). These no longer support streaming from the mms servers used by mathcentre, so we are recommending that you uninstall IE7 (IE6 lies underneath) and replace the new version of WMP with the fully functioning v.10 (you may need to find a download via google after uninstalling v.11). All those that have done this have reported back that everything is working again.
