The usual vector cross product of the three-dimensional Euclidian space is considered from an algebraic point of view. It is shown that many proofs, known from analytical geometry, can be distinctly simplified by using the matrix oriented approach. Moreover, by using the concept of generalized matrix inverse, we are able to facilitate the analysis of equations involving vector cross products.
Keywords: vector cross product, generalized inverse, Moore-Penrose inverse, linear equations
