An operation used frequently on vectors is the vector dot product, sometimes known as the scalar product. The vector dot product is an operation on vectors that takes two vectors and produces a scalar, or a number. The vector dot product can be used to find the angle between two vectors, and to determine perpendicularity. It is also used in other applications of vectors such as with the equations of planes.
