The vector Mixed Product (V x U • W) calculator computes the dot product of a vector (W) and the cross product of two other vectors (V and U) 
in three dimensional space.
INSTRUCTIONS: Enter the following:
- (V): Vector V
- (U): Vector U
- (W): Vector W
Mixed Product (m): The calculator returns the mixed product as a real number.
The Math / Science
The Mixed Product of three vectors is the cross product of two vectors creating a third vector that is orthogonal (90 degrees) from both original vectors and then the dot product of the result vector and a third vector.
The process is as follows:
- V x U :Cross Product of vectors V and U
- V x U • W : Dot product of vectors VxU and W
