Khan Academy: Linear Algebra: Dot and Cross Product Comparison/intuition

Curated by ACT

Video first reviews how to find the angle between two vectors, as well as restating the relationship between the cross product and the sine of that angle. Then gives an intuition of what the dot product and the cross product represent. Also compares the cross product and the dot product of vectors and shows how they are related. Shows which angles maximize the cross product and dot product. Defines the magnitude of the cross product of two vectors as the area of the parallelogram created by the vectors. [19:14]
