What is the Definition and Properties of a Cross Product in Vector Algebra?

[QUOTE="Kashmir, post: 6564665, member: 692174"] I've a doubt regarding the pseudo vector part and I'll be thankful if you could clarify. In a right hand system suppose I've two vectors i, j then their cross product is ##\mathbf{i}\ \times\ \mathbf{j}\ =\ \mathbf{k}## When we invert our coordinate system and then try to calculate the cross product of those two vectors we will have ##\mathbf{-i}\ \times\ \mathbf{-j}\ =\ \mathbf{k}## That means cross product is a polar vector? But that's wrong. Do we use a left handed system to compute cross product when we invert our coordinate system? Can you please help me, I'm not able to understand it. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
