Cross Product

OK, WikiIsNotaDictionary, but there seem to be a few math definitions around.

The CrossProduct of two vectors is a vector perpendicular to both which has a length equal to the area of the parallelogram defined by them, and points in a direction such that it obeys the right-hand rule. That makes the CrossProduct anti-commutative.
