  Exterior algebra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The wedge product is associative and bilinear; its essential property is that it is alternating on V:
Any wedge product in which the same basis vector appears more than once is zero; any wedge product in which the basis vectors don't appear in the proper order can be reordered, changing the sign whenever two basis vectors change places.
As in the case of tensor products of multilinear maps, the number of variables of their wedge product is the sum of the numbers of their variables.

In mathematics, the wedge product, also known as exterior product, is an anti-symmetrisation (alternation) of the tensor product.
The wedge product is a distributive associative multiplication of skew-symmetric multilinear maps which is anti-commutative for maps with odd number of variables and commutative otherwise.
The wedge product of two vector spaces may be identified with the subspace of their tensor product generated by the skew-symmetric tensors.

 Wedge Clamp Systems - History
The Wedge Clamp System was invented in 1982 when a large production collision repair facility, in Vancouver, BC, Canada began to experiment with new repair production techniques to address changing industry requirements.
The development of the Wedge Clamp System was based on field research, which confirmed that technicians preferred to avoid complicated systems – they wanted to work 'smarter' and not 'harder'.
The basic design of the Wedge Clamp System represented an entirely new approach that was less expensive, easier to use, and would ensure repairs were made to original factory specification.

 Area and Volume of Parallelograms and Parallelepipeds
This is helpful because the geometric product of geometric products is simpler than the geometric product of wedge products.
A more general way of taking the geometric product of two wedge products is to expand both wedge products in terms of geometric products according to equation 16, and then multiplying everything term-by-term.
This can be handled by wedge products, as shown in figure 1 where the green bivector is the initial angular momentum, the small purple bivector is torque*time, and the yellow bivector is the new angular momentum, which is in a new orientation due to precession.

The product's website www.skyvalleyscopes.com/mettler.htm gave a good general description of the wedge, however, there were still a few concerns I had that were not covered.
This is accomplished by placing the wedge on a hard surface (preferably the floor) and attaching the scope to the tilt plate.
The wedge is then placed on top of the tripod, and the appropriate center-bolt hole (the one closest to the pre-determined balance point) is aligned over the tripod center-bolt.

 CSDC : Cartan's Calculus: the interior product.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The interior product operation may look like the scalar product of ordinary vector analysis, but the idea is a bit more complex.
Hence, the inner product of a p-form and a contravariant vector density pulled back is well defined in terms of the interior product of the pullback of the p-form and the pull back of the contravariant vector density.
The interior product is often utilized in terms of a contravariant vectors, not contravariant vector densities, but then the result is only well defined with respect to diffeomorphisms, for which the inverse Jacobian is defined.

 P-vector   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
A p-vector in differential geometry is the tensor obtained by taking linear combinations of the wedge product of p tangent vectors, for some integer p ≥ 1.
A bivector is therefore an element of the antisymmetric tensor product of a tangent space with itself.
In geometric algebra, also, a bivector is a grade 2 element (a 2-vector) resulting from the wedge product (see exterior algebra) of two vectors, and so it is geometrically an oriented area, in the same way a vector is an oriented line segment.

None of the last two concepts, the concept of wedge exterior product, and the concept of the exterior derivative depend upon the notion of a metric space.
However it is best to think of the interior product as an operation that linearly takes a p element into a p-1 element of the exterior algebra.
The interior product is often utilized in terms of a contravariant vector, but then the result is only well defined with respect to diffeomorphisms.

The cross product of the two vectors a and b is denoted by a × b (in longhand some mathematicians write a∧b to avoid confusion with the letter x).
Which vector is the "correct" one by convention depends upon the orientation of the vector space—i.e., on the handedness of the given orthogonal coordinate system (i, j, k).
The vector cross product is an example of a non-associative map.

 Differential Forms: Algebra of Forms
Also, the wedge product is antisymmetric wrt the arguments of the functionals: (f^g)[x,y] = - (f^g)[y,x].
Here, we see that the wedge product is symmetric instead of being antisymmetric if one of the arguments is a 2-form: F^h = h^F if F is a 2-form and h a 1-form.This can be easily deduced from elementary properties of the wedge products including linearity, associativity and antisymmetry when acting on 1-forms:
In general, the wedge product of a k-form and an m-form gives a (k+m)-form, ie, a linear functional on R^(k+m).
