Vector Algebra
Vector Algebra Exercise 1 : Distributivity of Dot and Cross Prove that the dot and cross products are distributive, using definitions and diagrams: for three coplanar vectors in the general case Exercise 2 : Cross Product Associativity? Is the cross product associative? That is, does the following hold? $$ (A \times B) \times C = A \times (B \times C) $$ Prove or provide a counterexample. Exercise 3 : BAC-CAB Identity Prove the vector identity: $A \times (B \times C) = B,(A \cdot C) - C,(A \cdot B)$ (the BAC-CAB rule) by writing both sides in component form. ...
