| Name: | Dot - product of vectors, matrices, and tensors
|
| Synopsis: | array array Dot -> array
-> double
-> integer
|
| Description: |
A B Dot contracts the last index in A with the first
index in B. Indices in mathematical notation, leftmost
index describes first level objects. For peole used to
strict (row,column) notation as in Matlab [2] effects
of this generalized product may be surprising (see
examples (1) to (3).
Dot is an implementation of Mathematica's Dot [1].
