The discussion revolves around the nature of the vector (cross or external) product and whether it can be classified as a vector. The original poster seeks to understand the physical and mathematical justification for this classification within the context of a math physics course.
The discussion is exploring various interpretations of what constitutes a vector, with participants questioning the definitions and properties involved. There is no explicit consensus yet, but the dialogue appears to be productive in examining the underlying assumptions.
Participants are considering the definitions and properties of vectors in relation to the cross product, which may involve specific mathematical frameworks or physical interpretations that are not fully detailed in the posts.
