  1. dot product

    The dot product, also known as the scalar product, is a binary operation that takes two vectors and returns a scalar. The dot product of two vectors is computed as the product of the magnitudes of the two vectors and the cosine of the angle between them. It can also be calculated as the sum of the products of the corresponding entries of the two sequences of numbers. This operation is commutative and distributive.

  1. Dot product

    In mathematics, the dot product, or scalar product, is an algebraic operation that takes two equal-length sequences of numbers and returns a single number. This operation can be defined either algebraically or geometrically. Algebraically, it is the sum of the products of the corresponding entries of the two sequences of numbers. Geometrically, it is the product of the magnitudes of the two vectors and the cosine of the angle between them. The name "dot product" is derived from the centered dot " " that is often used to designate this operation; the alternative name "scalar product" emphasizes the scalar nature of the result. In three-dimensional space, the dot product contrasts with the cross product of two vectors, which produces a pseudovector as the result. The dot product is directly related to the cosine of the angle between two vectors in Euclidean space of any number of dimensions.
