Cross Product
- $\wedge$
Some authors use $\mathbf A \wedge \mathbf B$ to mean $\mathbf A \times \mathbf B$, that is, the vector cross product.
The $\LaTeX$ code for \(\wedge\) is \wedge .
The same symbol can be produced using \land, but this is usually used when the symbol is used in the sense of the logical and context.
