Outer product

In linear algebra, the outer product of two coordinate vectors is a matrix. If the two vectors have dimensions n and m, then their outer product is an n × m matrix. More generally, given two tensors (multidimensional arrays of numbers), their outer product is a tensor. The outer product of tensors is also referred to as their tensor productand can be used to define the tensor algebra. In linear algebra, the outer product of two coordinate vectors is a matrix.
