Scalar Product

A scalar product, also known as a dot product, is a mathematical operation that takes two vectors and returns a scalar quantity.

Sense 1: Mathematics

In mathematics, the scalar product is a way to compute the magnitude of one vector projected onto another. It is calculated by multiplying the magnitudes of the vectors and the cosine of the angle between them.

Example: The scalar product of vectors v and u is denoted as v ⋅ u.
