 term that pertains to the relationship between two vectors. Vectors consist of a "magnitude" and a "direction". Vectors can be said to be coincident when their direction is the same though the magnitude may be different; that is to say, they lie one on top of the other. If two coincident vectors were to be normalized, the resulting vectors would be identical. The dot product

Cross product

In mathematics, the cross product is a binary operation on two vector s in a three-dimensional Euclidean space that results in another vector which is orthogonal to the plane containing the two input vectors....
