| + | This trend continues for the other two vectors: | ||
| + | |||
| + | $$ | ||
| + | (0,y,0) \cdot \hat{P} = |y|\cos{\phi} = y\cos{\phi} = d_y, \quad \cos{\phi} = d_y/y \\ | ||
| + | (0,0,z) \cdot \hat{P} = |y|\cos{\psi} = y\cos{\psi} = d_z, \quad \cos{\psi} = d_z/z \\ | ||

| + | So what we want to find is a bearing vector $\hat{P}=(\hat{i},\hat{j},\hat{k})$ that satisfies having all three of these specific angles $\psi$, $\phi$, and $\theta$ between itself and the three hydrophone vectors simultaneously. To solve this problem, we need to consider the results of dot products simultaneously. | ||

| + | Matrix multiplication between two vectors is identical to taking their dot product. | ||

| + | Matrix Multiplication between two-dimensional matrices is merely a systematic way of calculating dot products between all relevant vectors. The product matrix elements each correspond to a dot product, and their position denotes which vectors were involved. Row vector 3 doted with column vector 1 becomes element $(3,1)$. Matrices are also involved in solving simultaneous equations. | ||
