cross unitV norm dot
cross( vectorA , vectorB ) Returns the cross product of vectorA and vectorB, both of which are real or
complex two-element or three-element vectors; expressed with variables,
cross( ã a,b,c д , г d,e,f ä ) returns ã bf N ce cd N af ae N bd ä
unitV vector Returns a unit vector where each element of a real or complex vector is
divided by the vector norm
norm vector Returns the Frobenius norm ( G(real 2 +imaginary 2 )) where the sum is over
all elements of a real or complex vector
dot( vectorA , vectorB ) Returns the dot product of vectorA and vectorB, both of which are real or
complex vectors; expressed with variables,
