= Solution

For $A=(A_1,A_2,A_3)$ and $B=(B_1,B_2,B_3)$, the scalar product is the <inner product>
$$
A\mathbin{\cdot}B=A_1B_1+A_2B_2+A_3B_3.
$$
The <cross product> is
$$
A\mathbin{\times}B
=(A_2B_3-A_3B_2,,
A_3B_1-A_1B_3,,
A_1B_2-A_2B_1).
$$
It is perpendicular to both vectors and has magnitude $|A||B|\sin\theta$.
