Definition df-tripp

Description: Define the scalar triple product of three 3-dimensional real coordinate vectors as the dot product of the first vector x with the cross product of the other two ( y and z ). Apply as ( y ( trippx ) z ) . Vectors are represented as functions on ( 1 ... 3 ) . (Contributed by Jiamin Zhao, 31-Jul-2026)
