I mean...Dude thank you so much... ha

Dude that you

a x b = c
b x a = -c

Never mind, after checking the maths I've found out that it does matter which order you cross the vectors. Thanks for the great tutorial. =D

Just curious, if you do vector b and you cross it with vector a in that order do you get the opposite of the example you got in the video? The only reason I ask this is I was doing a tutorial for one of my lectures and in that lecture we had to make a cube in 3d space. While doing this I entered my Vectors in an anti-clockwise format which put the normal on the wrong side of the face. Entering them in a clockwise format fixed this, so is it because of the way the vectors were crossed or not?

thank ya broseph brosephsons

Hello Patrick!
I am an avid fan of your very down to earth vids. But do you have videos regarding vectors in three dimensions? like regarding parametric/symmetric equations, quadric surfaces...etc.
Thanks!

nice vid, way better than my physics prof
-
do you have a video where you are given i and j and are asked to find the vector product
-
You've inspired me to make my own math videos. But how do you position the camera to get a shoot that focuses solely on the paper?
do you have a video on vector triple products?

@loik345 you dont. the cross product is defined for vectors in 3d
