The direct product of two magmas A and B is the set of pairs (a,b), with a in A and b in B, and with binary operation defined componentwise.

The DirectProduct( A, B ) command returns the Cayley table of the direct product of the magmas A and B.

$\mathrm{with}\left(\mathrm{Magma}\right)\:$

$A≔⟨⟨⟨1|2⟩\,⟨2|1⟩⟩⟩$

$A≔\left[\begin{array}{cc}1& 2\\ 2& 1\end{array}\right]$

$B≔⟨⟨⟨1\left|1\right|2⟩\,⟨2\left|3\right|2⟩\,⟨3\left|2\right|1⟩⟩⟩$

$B≔\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1& 1& 2\\ 2& 3& 2\\ 3& 2& 1\end{array}\right]$

The Magma[DirectProduct] command was introduced in Maple 2016.
