Explore the fundamental applications of the dot product in planar Euclidean geometry through the lens of linear algebra. Delve into the concept of the dot product, also known as the inner product, and discover its role as the primary source of metrical structure in planar geometry. Learn how this powerful tool leads to the idea of linear functionals and provides a direct, geometrical understanding of lines using normal vectors. Gain practical skills in working with projections and enhance your understanding of the relationship between algebra and geometry. This video lecture offers a comprehensive introduction to the essential concepts that bridge linear algebra and planar geometry, providing a solid foundation for further study in both fields.
