About the Dot Product
The dot product (also called scalar product or inner product) is a fundamental vector operation that returns a scalar value.
A · B = Σ(aᵢ × bᵢ) = a₁b₁ + a₂b₂ + ... + aₙbₙ
- Positive result: Vectors point in similar directions
- Zero result: Vectors are perpendicular (orthogonal)
- Negative result: Vectors point in opposite directions
