In mathematics, the dot product or scalar product is an algebraic operation that takes two equal-length sequences of numbers (usually coordinate vectors), and returns a single number. In Euclidean geometry, the dot product of the Cartesian coordinates of two vectors is widely used.

The dot product is a fundamental way we can combine two vectors. Intuitively, it tells us something about how much two vectors point in the same direction. Definition and intuition. We write the dot product with a little dot ⋅ between the two vectors (pronounced "a dot b"): a → ⋅ b → = ‖ a → ‖ ‖ b → ‖ cos. ( θ)

Sep 7, 2022 · Definition: dot product. The dot product of vectors ⇀ u = u1, u2, u3 and ⇀ v = v1, v2, v3 is given by the sum of the products of the components. ⇀ u ⋅ ⇀ v = u1v1 + u2v2 + u3v3. Note that if u and v are two-dimensional vectors, we calculate the dot product in a similar fashion.
The dot product of two vectors is equal to the product of the magnitudes of the two vectors, and the cosine of the angle between them. i.e., the dot product of two vectors \(\overrightarrow a\) and \(\overrightarrow b\) is denoted by \(\overrightarrow a \cdot \overrightarrow b\) and is defined as \(|\overrightarrow a||\overrightarrow b|\) cos θ.
The specific case of the inner product in Euclidean space, the dot product gives the product of the magnitude of two vectors and the cosine of the angle between them. Along with the cross product, the dot product is one of the fundamental operations on Euclidean vectors. Definition.
The dot product of a a with unit vector u u, denoted a ⋅u a ⋅ u, is defined to be the projection of a a in the direction of u u, or the amount that a a is pointing in the same direction as unit vector u u . Let's assume for a moment that a a and u u are pointing in similar directions.
