- __________
-
- There is a newsgroup called: sci.math.symbolic
- that is more appropriate for your question.
-
- Here is your answer though:
-
- Type:
-
- <<Cross.m
-
- (go to the LinearAlgebra folder if it doesnt find it)
-
-
- there is also:
-
- Vectors.m
-
- as well.
-
- Open the file itself via the open command if you want
- to see the structure of the Mma commands contained within.
