Maxima + vector math

Hi,

New to Maxima here. Running 5.6 with GCL 2.4.0

Can anyone recommend good intro level material and/or examples of
using Maxima to do some relatively simple vector operations? If I can
only figure out how to do thing like start with symbolic expressions:

v1 = [a, b, c];
v2 = [e, f, g];

and get to the cross product, expanded out:

          [ b g - f c   ]
          [ -a g + e c  ]
          [ a f - e b   ]

I really have been trying to follow the docs but I could really
benefit from seeing a simple example.

thanks!

Judah
