3D Vector Calculator

Add vectors and calculate dot product, cross product, and magnitude.

a + b

Dot product

Cross product

Magnitudes

Three-dimensional vectors

The cross product is defined here for 3D vectors and returns a perpendicular vector.

Worked example and guidance

Use Vector Calculator with a checkable example

Example input

u=(1,2,3), v=(4,5,6)

Expected output

u·v = 32 and u×v = (-3,6,-3)

For the example above, the output should be read as the result of the selected linear-algebra operation under the displayed dimensions. Vector Calculator performs the browser-side transformation or calculation, but the mathematical convention, units, domain, and intended publishing format still come from your problem.

How to use it

  1. Enter or paste a small known matrix or vector input before using a larger real-world example.
  2. Choose the required options and run Vector Calculator; keep the original input available for comparison.
  3. Read the result together with its dimensions, operation order, and numeric precision, then copy or export only after the check passes.

Useful for

  • Checking homework-sized calculations
  • Preparing a verified example for teaching
  • Converting table data into mathematical notation

Limits and checks

  • Large matrices can be slow in a browser
  • Floating-point results may need a tolerance
  • A numeric answer does not establish invertibility, stability, or model validity

Vector Calculator FAQ

Does Vector Calculator upload my input?

No. The published tool runs in the browser. Avoid placing confidential material in share URLs or exported files that you later send elsewhere.

How should I verify a Vector Calculator result?

Start with the worked example, inspect the dimensions, operation order, and numeric precision, and compare one result with an independent calculation or representation.

What should I do when the input is rejected?

Reduce the input to the smallest failing matrix or vector input, check delimiters and supported syntax, then add the remaining structure back one step at a time.
