Using Matlab to find the cross product of variables?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on using MATLAB to compute the cross product of vectors. The user seeks guidance on creating a function for this purpose, referencing the official MATLAB documentation for the 'cross' function. The 'cross' function is a built-in MATLAB tool that efficiently calculates the cross product of two vectors in three-dimensional space. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding vector operations in MATLAB for effective implementation.

PREREQUISITES

Hi guys,

I was wondering how I could type a function into MATLAB to computer the cross product of variables.

For example I want to compute the cross product of the following:
