The Dot Product Lyrics

Time to saddle up, boys and gals! Today we're going to learn about the dot product.

Given say, two vectors: v = < a,b > and u = < c,d > (a,b,c,d here are numbers)
The dot product of these two vectors is given by v · u = a*c + b*d

Not too bad, right?
Notice how this answer doesn't have any brackets <> in it or commas!
That's because the dot product is not a vector quantity, it's a scalar!
That means that the dot product is purely a magnitude, it does not have a direction.

Now, what if we are given the ludicrous task to calculate the dot product of a vector in the third dimension?
Simple!

Let us let v = < a,b,c > and u = < d,e,f >
v · u = a*d + b*e * c*f


Example:
Let u = <6,2,5> and v = <1,3,4>
Find w if w = v · u

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
