\end{equation}  The first operation takes a vector and generates a skew symmetric matrix. The third operation defines the Levi-Civita symbol, a rank $3$ tensor which is essential to vector calculus. calculus and higher dimensional generalisations.  A use of the first operation would be to define the electromagnetic tensor which looks like \begin{equation} F_{\mu\nu}=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & E_x/c & E_y/c & E_z/c \\ -E_x/c & 0 & B_z & -B_y \\ -E_y/c & -B_z & 0 & B_x \\ -E_z/c & B_y & -B_x & 0 \end{bmatrix}  \end{equation}
