Vector notation - commas

550 Views Asked by At

I am trying to solve a question that involves matrices and vectors. One part of the question uses the notation $v \times w,v,w$, where w and v are non-collinear vectors in $\mathbf{R}^{3}$.

I am confused by this notation - does $v \times w,v,w$ result in a 3 by 3 matrix with the column vectors $v \times w, v \times v$ and $v \times w$ next to each other? If not, what does it mean?
