Re: Dot and Cross Products

The Math Panel does not seem to contain the size dot one needs for the
dot product of vectors, namely, a dot bigger than \cdot but smaller than
\bullet. Steve suggested \centerdot, which does give a dot of about the
right size, but it's not centered--it's too low, almost at the baseline.
I suppose I could read up on how to raise the \centerdot, but you'd
think there would be a simpler way.
