\cdotfor matrix multiplication and the dot product,\timesfor cross product and nothing (or*, if I want to write it explicitly and have no convolution in the expression) for regular multiplication.This is the way
But why
‘*’ is commonly used for multiplication in computer programming, so it’s probably that. Also in your calculator app
** for power?
