You can define it for yourself or easier use one of the packages coming
with Mma:
Needs["Calculus`VectorAnalysis`"]
here the command is "CrossProduct"
or use
Needs["LinearAlgebra`CrossProduct`"]
with the Command "Cross"
e.g.:
Cross[{a1, a2, a3}, {b1, b2, b3}]
For more help to these packages see "Guide to Standard Mathematica
Packages" or the online help.
Kind regards, Harald
