scalar product
definition
we define the norm of a vector v as
p
∥v∥ = ⟨v, v⟩
The distance between the vector u and v as
dist(u, v) = ∥u − v∥ = ∥v − u∥
the orthogonal projection of v into u
⟨u, v⟩
Pu v = u
⟨u, u⟩

Determinants
Lets introduce the idea of an determinant in ℜ2 as the area of a parallelo-
gram that is formed by two vectors We know that the area of a parallelogram
