The vector dot product, also known as the scalar product or inner product, is an operation that takes two vectors of equal length as input and returns a single scalar number (a quantity with magnitude but no direction). The dot product measures how much two vectors point in the same direction, or the extent to which they are "aligned".

💡There are two primary ways to calculate the dot product, depending on the information you have:
• Algebraic Definition (Component Form)
• Geometric Definition

💡Key Properties
• Commutative
• Distributive
• Scalar multiplication
• Magnitude

💡Geometric Significance and Applications
• Orthogonality (perpendicularity)
• Angle between vectors
• Projection
• Physics (work done by a force)
