of vectors $\mathbf{a},\mathbf{b},\mathbf{c}$

The inner product of the vector $\mathbf{a}$ by the vector product of $\mathbf{b}$ and $\mathbf{c}$: $$ [\mathbf{a},\mathbf{b},\mathbf{c}] = \mathbf{a} \times (\mathbf{b} \cdot \mathbf{c}) $$

See Vector algebra.

Comments

The phrase scalar triple product also occurs instead of mixed product.
