Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Passage: Cross product -- In mathematics and vector algebra, the cross product or vector product (occasionally directed area product to emphasize the geometric significance) is a binary operation on two vectors in three-dimensional space ( R 3 ) (\displaystyle \left(\mathbb (R) ^(3)\right)) and is denoted by the symbol × (\displaystyle \times ) . Given two linearly independent vectors a (\displaystyle \mathbf (a) ) and b (\displaystyle \mathbf (b) ) , the cross product, a × b (\displaystyle \mathbf (a) \times \mathbf (b) ) , is a vector that is perpendicular to both a (\displaystyle \mathbf (a) ) and b (\displaystyle \mathbf (b) ) and thus normal to the plane containing them. It has many applications in mathematics, physics, engineering, and computer programming. It should not be confused with the dot product (projection product).
Question: is cross product the same as dot product
