Scalar multiplication
text:
In mathematics, scalar multiplication is one of the basic operations defining a vector space in linear algebra. In common geometrical contexts, scalar multiplication of a real Euclidean vector by a positive real number multiplies the magnitude of the vector without changing its direction. Scalar multiplication is the multiplication of a vector by a scalar, and is to be distinguished from inner product of two vectors.
