Where can I find information about these math calculations?

[oiprocs]

k x i
i x j
k x j

These are vectors. I search google but I end up with IXJ stock info.

Did you include the key word "vector" as part of your search?

 

[BrownTown]

or "multiplication", kinda like "vector multiplication"

cross products?

 

[PottedMeat]

...aren't those standard notation for x/y/z in any vector calculus/physics textbook?

 

[Special K]

Those look like cross products of the standard basis vectors, which are represented as i, j, and k in many textbooks. Actually they have a carrot symbol above them ^ , but I don't think that's possible to accurately represent in this post.

If it's any help:
ixi=0
jxj=0
kxk=0

ixj=k
jxk=i
kxi=j

jxi=-k
kxj=-i
ixk=-j

to remeber the bottom ones think of a circle with ijk similar to this:
..i..
j...k

moving ccw gives you a positive value equal to the third component
moving cw gives you a negative value equal to the third component

Vector product or cross product should give you the desired results.

 

[LordMorpheus]

i = [1 0 0]'
j = [0 1 0]'
k = [0 0 1]'

Look up a cross product.

 

[FleshLight]

Cross roduct.

 

[Eeezee]

Those are just standard cross products of unit vectors.
