The result of the outer product is a vector whose direction is perpendicular to the two vectors, and the length is $ \left | \mathbf{a} \right | \left | \mathbf{b} \right | \left \langle { \mathbf {a}, \mathbf {b}} \right \rangle $, which is also the area of the quadrilateral of the two vectors. From the outer product operations, we introduce the $ ^ \wedge $ operator here, which means writing $ \mathbf{a} $ as a \textit {skew-symmetric matrix} \footnote{Skew-symmetric matrix means $ \mathbf{A} $ satisfies $ \mathbf{A}^T=- \mathbf{A}$. }. You can take $ ^ \wedge $ as a skew-symmetric symbol. It turns the outer product $ \mathbf{a} \times \mathbf{b} $ into the multiplication of the matrix and the vector $ { \mathbf{a}^ \wedge } \mathbf{b} $, which is a linear operation. This symbol will be used frequently in the following sections. This symbol will be used frequently in the following sections. It is a one-to-one mapping, meaning that for any vector, it corresponds to a unique anti-symmetric matrix, and vice versa:
