Hello !
The easiest way is to create your own croosProdHom function for vectors in
homogeneous system :
In[7]:=
crossProdHom[v1_,v2_]:=Append[Cross[Drop[v1,-1],Drop[v2,-1]],1]
In[11]:=
crossProdHom[{a,b,c,1},{d,e,f,1}]
Out[11]=
{-c e+b f,c d-a f,-b d+a e,1}
Meilleures salutations

Hi group,
how can I achieve the CrossProduct of two 4*1 vectors (in homogeneous
coordinate)?
For instance: CrossProduct[{a,b,c,1},{d,e,f,1}]
Thanks in advance
Umby
