Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I tried to follow an example from my notes, but I don't entirely understand it. Would it be possible to find out if what I've done (below) is correct, or where I went wrong?
(B\timesC)_{i} = \epsilon_{ijk}B_{j}C_{k}
(A\bulletB\timesC)_{i} = \epsilon_{ijk}A_{i}B_{j}C_{k}
= \epsilon_{kij}A_{i}B_{j}C_{k}
=C\bulletA\timesB
Thanks!
PS. I'm not very familiar with Latex and couldn't get the symbols to line up properly.. sorry! They should all be subscripts.
