The Vector Cross Product - A JAVA Interactive Tutorial
The Vector Cross Product - A JAVA Interactive Tutorial
Description:
The cross product of vectors is often difficult for students to understand. This activity, which requires a "Java-enabled" web browser, allows students to control two vectors and observe their cross product in three-dimensions, as well as to view the cross product from different vantage points by spinning the plane in which A and B lie. A separate pop-out window provides numerical values for the vectors. Finally, a succinct description of the mathematics behind the cross product is provided following the interactive applet.
