大家好，我是Icomi，本专栏是我阅读外文原版书《Before Machine Learning》对于文章中我认为能够增进线性代数与机器学习之间的理解的内容的一个输出，希望能够帮助到各位更加深刻的理解线性代数与机器学习。若各位对本系列内容感兴趣，可以给我点个关注跟进内容，我将持续更新。

本专栏与我的《PyTorch入门》结合将理解更深刻。

3.3 Where Are You Looking, Vector? The Dot Product

1.One way that we can multiply vectors is called the dot product, which we will cover now. The other is called the cross product, which won’t be covered in this book.

我们可以将向量相乘的一种方法称为点积，我们现在将介绍它。另一个称为叉积，本书不会涉及。点积和叉积之间的主要区别在于结果：点积结果是一个标量，来自叉积的是另一个向量。

2.A true understanding of linear algebra becomes more accessible with visualisations, and the dot product has a tremendous geometrical interpretation. It can be calculated by projecting the vector into a
