Say I want to run a function of the form
Table[i*j,{i,-5,5},{j,-5,5}]
but I want to omit all the values of $|i|\leq1$ and $|j|\leq1$. In other words, how do I create my 2D grid of values that doesn't contain the box of length 2 centered at the origin.
How would I write this in a general form rather than making the table by hand?
