Editing Matrix multiplication (section)

===Dot product, bilinear form and sesquilinear form===
The [[dot product]] of two column vectors is the unique entry of the matrix product 
:<math>\mathbf x^\mathsf T \mathbf y,</math>
where <math>\mathbf x^\mathsf T</math> is the [[row vector]] obtained by [[transpose|transposing]] <math>\mathbf x</math>.  (As usual, a 1×1 matrix is identified with its unique entry.)

More generally, any [[bilinear form]] over a vector space of finite dimension may be expressed as a matrix product
:<math>\mathbf x^\mathsf T \mathbf {Ay},</math>
and any [[sesquilinear form]] may be expressed as 
:<math>\mathbf x^\dagger \mathbf {Ay},</math>
where <math>\mathbf x^\dagger</math> denotes the [[conjugate transpose]] of <math>\mathbf x</math> (conjugate of the transpose, or equivalently transpose of the conjugate).
