Dot product explained as matrix multiplication.

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Hi Francis,
I am not sure where it is best to put it in the doc if at all, but dot product can be easily understood in terms of matrix multiplication: a · b is the same as aTb.

This helps while learning linear algebra as one does not need to remember dot product as a separate concept anymore and can easily distinguish it from the outer product abT.

You use the same notation for both dot and outer product in the notes, so I think it is worth to mention how you can easily make a distinction this way.

thank you for bringing this up, I'm clarifying the notation and adding the equivalent matrix multiplications.
