In mathematics, a quantity formed by the outer product of two vectors, representing a directed area in space.
From Latin 'bi-' (two) + 'vector' (carrier, from 'vehere' meaning to carry). Coined in geometric algebra as a mathematical object combining two vector directions.
Bivectors are invisible to everyday geometry but absolutely crucial in physics and animation—they're how computers rotate 3D objects smoothly, and they're what makes quaternions work their magic in video games.
