Dot Product
Description
The dot product of any two vectors $a = \begin{pmatrix} a_1 \\ a_2 \\ a_3 \end{pmatrix}$ and $b=\begin{pmatrix} b_1 \\ b_2 \\ b_3 \end{pmatrix}$ is defined as
(1)\begin{align} \mathbf a \cdot \mathbf b = \sum_{i=1}^n a_i b_i \end{align}
The Sage cell below calculates the dot product for the vectors $a = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix}$ and $b = \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 5 \\ 6 \end{pmatrix}$.
