ScalarTripleProduct

As of Version 9.0, vector analysis functionality is built into the Wolfram Language »

ScalarTripleProduct[v1,v2,v3]

gives the scalar triple product of the three 3-vectors v1, v2, and v3 in the default coordinate system.

ScalarTripleProduct[v1,v2,v3,coordsys]

gives the scalar triple product of v1, v2, and v3 in the coordinate system coordsys.
