How to write cross-product of two vectors in latex?

Question

I have been looking for the cross product symbol in latex, but haven't found any yet.

Any help would be appreciated!

Try $\vec{a} \times \vec{b}$. – John Kormylo Jun 30 '20 at 13:33 — John Kormylo, Jun 30 '20 at 13:33

\times is the command commonly used for the cross product.

In general, I suggest trying Detexify for such matters.

Some authors use \wedge to denote the cross product, although that creates confusion with the actual wedge product. In three dimensions they are the same though. – LaTeXereXeTaL Jun 30 '20 at 18:11
