Jul 29, 2012 at 4:05 comment added Tom Goodwillie If you use ordered triangulations, then yes there is a standard way, based on a standard way of triangulating the product of two simplices whose vertex sets are ordered. (Think of a simplex as the nerve of an ordered set so that a product of simplices appears as the nerve of the product of these ordered sets, a poset.) And it seems to me that it ought to lead to nice formulas for the $f$-vector of the product.
Jul 28, 2012 at 22:13 comment added Aaron Trout @Tom Goodwillie: Is there a standard way to triangulate $M\times N$ given triangulations of $M$ and $N$? If so, is it easy to find the resulting $f$-vector in terms of the $f$-vectors for $N$ and $M$? If this is a well known procedure, my apologies for my ignorance!
