Research direction

Start by inspecting Spatial4j's existing package structure and the math package mentioned in the issue's fork. Define the 3D vector utilities listed in the issue, then add focused tests covering their results and edge cases; done means the class and utilities are available for computation and the tests pass.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Implement a class in spatial 4j for using 3D vectors in computation. Implement additional vector utilities which should include:

  • Addition
  • Subtraction
  • Scalar Multiplication
  • Dot product
  • Cross Product
  • Get unit vector

And any other utilities one might use. I added these in my fork into a new math package - might be a good idea to stick with this trend and create this new package for computation utilities.
