In [[mathematics]], the '''dot product''', or '''scalar product''' (or sometimes '''inner product''' in the context of Euclidean space), is an algebraic operation that takes two equal-length sequences of numbers (usually [[coordinate vector]]s) 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 [[Euclidean vector#Length|magnitudes]] of the two vectors and the [[cosine]] of the angle between them.  The name "dot product" is derived from the [[Dot operator|centered dot]] "&nbsp;'''·'''&nbsp;" that is often used to designate this operation; the alternative name "scalar product" emphasizes the [[scalar (mathematics)|scalar]] (rather than [[Euclidean vector|vectorial]]) 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.
 
==Definition==
The dot product is often defined in one of two ways: algebraically or geometrically.  The geometric definition is based on the notions of angle and distance (magnitude of vectors).  The equivalence of these two definitions relies on having a [[Cartesian coordinate system]] for Euclidean space.
 
In modern presentations of [[Euclidean geometry]], the points of space are defined in terms of their Cartesian coordinates, and [[Euclidean space]] itself is commonly identified with the [[real coordinate space]] '''R'''<sup>''n''</sup>. In such a presentation, the notions of length and angles are not primitive.  They are defined by means of the dot product:  the length of a vector is defined as the square root of the dot product of the vector by itself, and the [[cosine]] of the (non oriented) angle of two vectors of length one is defined as their dot product. So the equivalence of the two definitions of the dot product is a part of the equivalence of the classical and the modern formulations of Euclidean geometry.
 
===Algebraic definition===
The dot product of two vectors {{nowrap|1='''a''' = [''a''<sub>1</sub>, ''a''<sub>2</sub>, ..., ''a''<sub>''n''</sub>]}} and {{nowrap|1='''b''' = [''b''<sub>1</sub>, ''b''<sub>2</sub>, ..., ''b''<sub>''n''</sub>]}} is defined as:<ref name="Lipschutz2009">{{cite book |author= S. Lipschutz, M. Lipson |first1= |title= Linear Algebra (Schaum’s Outlines)|edition= 4th |year= 2009|publisher= McGraw Hill|isbn=978-0-07-154352-1}}</ref>
 
:<math>\mathbf{a}\cdot \mathbf{b} = \sum_{i=1}^n a_ib_i = a_1b_1 + a_2b_2 + \cdots + a_nb_n</math>
 
where Σ denotes [[Summation|summation notation]] and ''n'' is the dimension of the vector space. For instance, in [[three-dimensional space]], the dot product of vectors {{nowrap|[1, 3, −5]}} and {{nowrap|[4, −2, −1]}} is:
 
:<math>
\begin{align}
\ [1, 3, -5] \cdot [4, -2, -1] &= (1)(4) + (3)(-2) + (-5)(-1) \\
&= 4 - 6 + 5 \\
&= 3.
\end{align}
</math>
 
===Geometric definition===
In [[Euclidean space]], a [[Euclidean vector]] is a geometrical object that possesses both a magnitude and a direction.  A vector can be pictured as an arrow.  Its magnitude is its length, and its direction is the direction the arrow points. The magnitude of a vector '''A''' is denoted by <math>\|\mathbf{A}\|</math>.  The dot product of two Euclidean vectors '''A''' and '''B''' is defined by<ref name="Spiegel2009">{{cite book |author= M.R. Spiegel, S. Lipschutz, D. Spellman|first1= |title= Vector Analysis (Schaum’s Outlines)|edition= 2nd |year= 2009|publisher= McGraw Hill|isbn=978-0-07-161545-7}}</ref>
:<math>\mathbf A\cdot\mathbf B = \|\mathbf A\|\,\|\mathbf B\|\cos\theta,</math>
where θ is the [[angle]] between '''A''' and '''B'''.
 
In particular, if '''A''' and '''B''' are [[orthogonal]], then the angle between them is 90° and
:<math>\mathbf A\cdot\mathbf B=0.</math>
At the other extreme, if they are codirectional, then the angle between them is 0° and
:<math>\mathbf A\cdot\mathbf B = \|\mathbf A\|\,\|\mathbf B\|</math>
This implies that the dot product of a vector '''A''' by itself is
:<math>\mathbf A\cdot\mathbf A = \|\mathbf A\|^2,</math>
which gives
: <math> \|\mathbf A\| = \sqrt{\mathbf A\cdot\mathbf A},</math>
the formula for the [[Euclidean length]] of the vector.
 
===Scalar projection and first properties===
[[File:Dot Product.svg|thumb|right|Scalar projection]]
The [[scalar projection]] (or scalar component) of a Euclidean vector '''A''' in the direction of a Euclidean vector '''B''' is given by
:<math>A_B=\|\mathbf A\|\cos\theta</math>
where θ is the angle between '''A''' and '''B'''.
 
In terms of the geometric definition of the dot product, this can be rewritten
:<math>A_B = \mathbf A\cdot\widehat{\mathbf B}</math>
where <math>\widehat{\mathbf B} = \mathbf B/\|\mathbf B\|</math> is the [[unit vector]] in the direction of '''B'''.
 
[[File:Dot product distributive law.svg|thumb|right|Distributive law for the dot product]]
The dot product is thus characterized geometrically by<ref>{{Cite book | last1=Arfken | first1=G. B. | last2=Weber | first2=H. J. | title=Mathematical Methods for Physicists | publisher=[[Academic Press]] | location=Boston, MA | edition=5th | isbn=978-0-12-059825-0 | year=2000 | pages=14–15 }}.</ref>
:<math>\mathbf A\cdot\mathbf B = A_B\|\mathbf{B}\|=B_A\|\mathbf{A}\|.</math>
The dot product, defined in this manner, is homogeneous under scaling in each variable, meaning that for any scalar α,
:<math>(\alpha\mathbf{A})\cdot\mathbf B=\alpha(\mathbf A\cdot\mathbf B)=\mathbf A\cdot(\alpha\mathbf B).</math>
It also satisfies a [[distributive law]], meaning that
:<math>\mathbf A\cdot(\mathbf B+\mathbf C) = \mathbf A\cdot\mathbf B+\mathbf A\cdot\mathbf C.</math>
 
These properties may be summarized by saying that the dot product is a [[bilinear form]]. Moreover, this bilinear form is [[positive definite bilinear form|positive definite]], which means that
<math>\mathbf A\cdot \mathbf A</math>
is never negative and is zero if and only if <math>\mathbf A = \mathbf 0.</math>
 
===Equivalence of the definitions===
If '''e'''<sub>1</sub>,...,'''e'''<sub>''n''</sub> are the [[standard basis|standard basis vectors]] in '''R'''<sup>''n''</sup>, then we may write
:<math>\begin{align}
\mathbf A &= [A_1,\dots,A_n] = \sum_i A_i\mathbf e_i\\
\mathbf B &= [B_1,\dots,B_n] = \sum_i B_i\mathbf e_i.
\end{align}
</math>
The vectors '''e'''<sub>''i''</sub> are an [[orthonormal basis]], which means that they have unit length and are at right angles to each other.  Hence since these vectors have unit length
:<math>\mathbf e_i\cdot\mathbf e_i=1</math>
and since they form right angles with each other, if ''i''&nbsp;≠&nbsp;''j'',
:<math>\mathbf e_i\cdot\mathbf e_j = 0.</math>
 
Now applying the distributivity of the geometric version of the dot product gives
:<math>\mathbf A\cdot\mathbf B = \sum_i B_i(\mathbf A\cdot\mathbf e_i) = \sum_i B_iA_i</math>
which is precisely the algebraic definition of the dot product. So the (geometric) dot product equals the (algebraic) dot product.
 
==Properties==
The dot product fulfils the following properties if '''a''', '''b''', and '''c''' are real [[vector (geometry)|vectors]] and ''r'' is a [[scalar (mathematics)|scalar]].<ref name="Lipschutz2009" /><ref name="Spiegel2009" />
 
# '''[[Commutative]]:'''
#: <math> \mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b} = \mathbf{b} \cdot \mathbf{a}.</math>
#: which follows from the definition (''θ'' is the angle between '''a''' and '''b'''):
#: <math>\mathbf{a}\cdot \mathbf{b} = \|\mathbf{a}\|\|\mathbf{b}\|\cos\theta = \|\mathbf{b}\|\|\mathbf{a}\|\cos\theta = \mathbf{b}\cdot\mathbf{a} </math>
# '''[[Distributive]] over vector addition:'''
#: <math> \mathbf{a} \cdot (\mathbf{b} + \mathbf{c}) = \mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b} + \mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{c}. </math>
# '''[[bilinear form|Bilinear]]''':
#: <math> \mathbf{a} \cdot (r\mathbf{b} + \mathbf{c})
    = r(\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b}) + (\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{c}).
</math>
# '''[[Scalar multiplication]]:'''
#: <math> (c_1\mathbf{a}) \cdot (c_2\mathbf{b}) = c_1 c_2 (\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b}) </math>
# '''[[Orthogonal]]:'''
#: Two non-zero vectors '''a''' and '''b''' are ''orthogonal'' [[if and only if]] {{nowrap|1='''a''' ⋅ '''b''' = 0}}.
# '''No [[cancellation law|cancellation]]:'''
#: Unlike multiplication of ordinary numbers, where if {{nowrap|1=''ab'' = ''ac''}}, then ''b'' always equals ''c'' unless ''a'' is zero, the dot product does not obey the [[cancellation law]]:
#: If {{nowrap|1='''a''' ⋅ '''b''' = '''a''' ⋅ '''c'''}} and {{nowrap|'''a''' ≠ '''0'''}}, then we can write: {{nowrap|1='''a''' ⋅ ('''b''' − '''c''') = 0}} by the [[distributive law]]; the result above says this just means that '''a''' is perpendicular to {{nowrap|('''b''' − '''c''')}}, which still allows {{nowrap|('''b''' − '''c''') ≠ '''0'''}}, and therefore {{nowrap|'''b''' ≠ '''c'''}}.
# '''[[Derivative]]:''' If '''a''' and '''b''' are [[function (mathematics)|functions]], then the derivative ([[Notation for differentiation#Lagrange's notation|denoted by a prime]] ′) of {{nowrap|'''a''' ⋅ '''b'''}} is {{nowrap|'''a'''′ ⋅ '''b''' + '''a''' ⋅ '''b'''′}}.
 
===Application to the cosine law===
[[File:Dot product cosine rule.svg|100px|thumb|Triangle with vector edges '''a''' and '''b''', separated by angle ''θ''.]]
 
{{main|law of cosines}}
 
Given two vectors '''a''' and '''b''' separated by angle ''θ'' (see image right), they form a triangle with a third side {{nowrap|1='''c''' = '''a''' − '''b'''}}. The dot product of this with itself is:
 
:<math>
\begin{align}
\mathbf{c}\cdot\mathbf{c}  & = (\mathbf{a}-\mathbf{b})\cdot(\mathbf{a}-\mathbf{b}) \\
& =\mathbf{a}\cdot\mathbf{a} - \mathbf{a}\cdot\mathbf{b} - \mathbf{b}\cdot\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b}\cdot\mathbf{b}\\
& = a^2 - \mathbf{a}\cdot\mathbf{b} - \mathbf{a}\cdot\mathbf{b} + b^2\\
& = a^2 - 2\mathbf{a}\cdot\mathbf{b} + b^2\\
c^2 & = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab\cos \theta\\
\end{align}
</math>
 
which is the [[law of cosines]].
{{clear}}
 
==Triple product expansion==
{{Main|Triple product}}
 
This is a very useful identity (also known as '''Lagrange's formula''') involving the dot- and [[Cross product|cross-products]]. It is written as:<ref name="Lipschutz2009" /><ref name="Spiegel2009" />
 
:<math>\mathbf{a} \times (\mathbf{b} \times \mathbf{c}) = \mathbf{b}(\mathbf{a}\cdot\mathbf{c}) - \mathbf{c}(\mathbf{a}\cdot\mathbf{b})</math>
 
which is [[mnemonic|easier to remember]] as "BAC minus CAB", keeping in mind which vectors are dotted together. This formula is commonly used to simplify vector calculations in [[physics]].
 
==Physics==
In [[physics]], vector magnitude is a [[scalar (physics)|scalar]] in the physical sense, i.e. a [[physical quantity]] independent of the coordinate system, expressed as the [[product (mathematics)|product]]  of a [[number|numerical value]] and a [[physical unit]], not just a number. The dot product is also a scalar in this sense, given by the formula, independent of the coordinate system.
Examples include:<ref name="Riley2010">{{cite book |author= K.F. Riley, M.P. Hobson, S.J. Bence |title= Mathematical methods for physics and engineering|edition= 3rd|year= 2010|publisher= Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-0-521-86153-3}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |author= M. Mansfield, C. O’Sullivan|title= Understanding Physics|edition= 4th |year= 2011|publisher= John Wiley & Sons|isbn=978-0-47-0746370}}</ref>
* [[Mechanical work]] is the dot product of [[force]] and [[Displacement (vector)|displacement]] vectors.
* [[Magnetic flux]] is the dot product of the [[magnetic field]] and the [[Area vector|area]] vectors.
 
==Generalizations==
===Complex vectors===
For vectors with [[complex number|complex]] entries, using the given definition of the dot product would lead to quite different properties. For instance the dot product of a vector with itself would be an arbitrary complex number, and could be zero without the vector being the zero vector (such vectors are called [[Isotropic quadratic form|isotropic]]); this in turn would have consequences for notions like length and angle. Properties such as the positive-definite norm can be salvaged at the cost of giving up the symmetric and bilinear properties of the scalar product, through the alternative definition<ref name="Lipschutz2009" />
 
:<math>\mathbf{a}\cdot \mathbf{b} = \sum{a_i \overline{b_i}} </math>
where <span style="text-decoration: overline">''b<sub>i</sub>''</span> is the [[complex conjugate]] of ''b<sub>i</sub>''. Then the scalar product of any vector with itself is a non-negative real number, and it is nonzero except for the zero vector. However this scalar product is thus [[sesquilinear]] rather than bilinear: it is [[conjugate linear]] and not linear in '''b''', and the scalar product is not symmetric, since
:<math> \mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b} = \overline{\mathbf{b} \cdot \mathbf{a}}. </math>
The angle between two complex vectors is then given by
:<math>\cos\theta = \frac{\operatorname{Re}(\mathbf{a}\cdot\mathbf{b})}{\|\mathbf{a}\|\,\|\mathbf{b}\|}.</math>
 
This type of scalar product is nevertheless useful, and leads to the notions of [[Hermitian form]] and of general [[inner product space]]s.
 
===Inner product===
{{main|Inner product space}}
The inner product generalizes the dot product to [[vector space|abstract vector spaces]] over a [[field (mathematics)|field]] of [[scalar (mathematics)|scalars]], being either the field of [[real number]]s <math>\mathbb{R}</math> or the field of [[complex number]]s <math>\mathbb{C}</math>. It is usually denoted by <math>\langle\mathbf{a}\, , \mathbf{b}\rangle</math>.
 
The inner product of two vectors over the field of complex numbers is, in general, a complex number, and is [[Sesquilinear form|sesquilinear]] instead of bilinear. An inner product space is a [[normed vector space]], and the inner product of a vector with itself is real and positive-definite.
 
===Functions===
The dot product is defined for vectors that have a finite number of [[coordinate vector|entries]]. Thus these vectors can be regarded as [[discrete function]]s: a length-{{mvar|n}} vector {{mvar|u}} is, then, a function with [[domain of a function|domain]] {{math|{''k'' ∈ ℕ ∣ 1 ≤ ''k'' ≤ ''n''}}}, and {{math|''u''<sub>''i''</sub>}} is a notation for the image of {{math|''i''}} by the function/vector {{math|''u''}}.
 
This notion can be generalized to [[continuous function]]s: just as the inner product on vectors uses a sum over corresponding components, the inner product on functions is defined as an integral over some [[Interval (mathematics)|interval]] {{math|''a'' ≤ ''x'' ≤ ''b''}} (also denoted {{math|[''a'', ''b'']}}):<ref name="Lipschutz2009" />
 
:<math>\langle u , v \rangle = \int_a^b u(x)v(x)dx </math>
 
Generalized further to [[complex function]]s {{math|''ψ''(''x'')}} and {{math|''χ''(''x'')}}, by analogy with the complex inner product above, gives<ref name="Lipschutz2009" />
 
:<math>\langle \psi , \chi \rangle = \int_a^b \psi(x)\overline{\chi(x)}dx.</math>
 
===Weight function===
Inner products can have a [[weight function]], i.e. a function which weight each term of the inner product with a value.
 
===Dyadics and matrices===
[[Matrix (mathematics)|Matrices]] have the [[Frobenius inner product]], which is analogous to the vector inner product. It is defined as the sum of the products of the corresponding components of two matrices '''A''' and '''B''' having the same size:
 
:<math>\bold{A}:\bold{B} = \sum_i\sum_j A_{ij}\overline{B_{ij}} = \mathrm{tr}(\mathbf{A}^* \mathbf{B}) = \mathrm{tr}(\mathbf{A} \mathbf{B}^*).</math>
:<math>\bold{A}:\bold{B} = \sum_i\sum_j A_{ij}B_{ij} = \mathrm{tr}(\mathbf{A}^\mathrm{T} \mathbf{B}) = \mathrm{tr}(\mathbf{A} \mathbf{B}^\mathrm{T}).</math> (For real matrices)
 
[[Dyadics]] have a dot product and "double" dot product defined on them, see [[Dyadics#Product of dyadic and dyadic|Dyadics (Product of dyadic and dyadic)]] for their definitions.
 
===Tensors===
The inner product between a [[tensor]] of order ''n'' and a tensor of order ''m'' is a tensor of order {{nowrap|''n'' + ''m'' − 2}}, see [[tensor contraction]] for details.

Jorge Cruise has published The Belly Fat Cure which guarantees users a reduction of 4 to 9 pounds in a week. Before we rush out and buy the book or scoff at the claim, read on. Cruise is a perfectly known fitness coach that has been featured on Oprah, The View and alternative news venues. He also offers youtube videos where he is showcased along side Dr Oz.

Being tall inside the dating scene is a benefit. For me, my problem with standing out like a sore thumb instantly diminished, because I loved the additional attention and getting observed by all men, putting me found on the front lines. Speaking of 'lines', the basketball line was annoying, however, it was a perfect initially line for men to approach me with and I began not minding it as much.

If we talk regarding United States, then the figures say which the problem of weight waist to height ratio has, the reality is reached to the degrees of epidemic proportions. It is calculated which over 2 thirds of adults in the US are overweight or obese. The figures in kids are even worse because 20%- 30% kids inside the US are either overweight or fat.

Waking up this morning I was thus hungry however, I decided to stick with the diet. After my grapefruit breakfast, I am going on another bike ride. Well my stomach hurt thus much it was difficult to consume my lunch. I am thus hungry. I went over to my sisters home plus they we having pizza for dinner. I was tempted to consume it, nevertheless I didnt. Then Im getting willing to consume dinner. Im thus happy for dinner considering I feel that this might be the best dinner from the four days. I got a hamburger patty plus stewed tomatoes. I then dipped the patty into the stewed tomatoes, it tasted like ketchup on the hamburger. Tonights dinner had filled me up, that is advantageous considering I dont wish to go to bed with belly cramps again. Im going to bed now and it feels advantageous to be full.

So when this might be happening to we and you don't desire to be apple shaped, what could you do about it. First, look at your diet. Cut out processed foods plus saturated fat. Items like butter, cakes, biscuits, full fat milk, white bread, ready created meals.

According to the National Heart, Lung, plus waist to height ratio Blood Institute ladies could have a waist circumference (WC) of 35 inches or less to be fit. Men could have a WC of 40 inches or less.

The BMI (Body Mass Index) is a standard calculation selected by doctors and nutritionists to see when the fat is appropriate for the height. There are charts and the simple formula to calculate the BMI using a Google search. If your BMI is 30 or more, a statistical risk of death from any cause is increased by 50 to 150 percent. However you have to understand much more about a body composition. Read on.

The expecting mother must equally keep a healthy lifestyle, eat a diet that is rich inside fresh fruits plus veggies, keep perfectly hydrated and have at least 30 minutes of exercise each day.
