The Wedge product is the multiplication operation in exterior algebra. The wedge product is always antisymmetric, associative, and anti-commutative. The result of the wedge product is known as a bivector; in ℝ3 it is a 2-form. For two vectors u and v in ℝ3, the wedge product is defined as where ⊗ denotes the outer product. Note that the bivector has only three indepedent elements; as such, it can be associated with another vector in ℝ3. If the associated vector is defined as
