Inner products allow the rigorous introduction of intuitive geometrical notions such as the angle between vectors or length of vectors in spaces of all dimensions.
Inner product spaces generalize Euclidean spaces (with the dot product as the inner product) and are studied in functional analysis.
Using the norm associated to the inner product, one has the notion of dense subset, and the appropriate definition of orthonormal basis is that the algebraic span (subspace of finite linear combinations of basis vectors) should be dense.

  Inner product space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, an inner product space is a vector space with additional structure, an inner product (also called a scalar product), which allows us to introduce geometrical notions such as angles and lengths of vectors.
Inner product spaces generalize Euclidean spaces (with the dot product as the inner product) and are studied in functional analysis.

 Product (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a product is the result of multiplying, or an expression that identifies factors to be multiplied.
When matrices or members of various other associative algebras are multiplied the product usually depends on the order of the factors; in other words, matrix multiplication, and the multiplications in those other algebras, are non-commutative.
The dot product and cross product are forms of multiplication of vectors; the same as dot product or more general are the scalar product and the inner product; see also Inner product space

Example 1  The Euclidean inner product as defined in the Euclidean n-space section is an inner product.
This formula is very similar to the Euclidean inner product formula and so showing that this is an inner product will be almost identical to showing that the Euclidean inner product is an inner product.  There are differences, but for the most part it is pretty much the same.
We’ll leave it to you to verify that this is an inner product.  It should be fairly simple if you’ve had calculus and you followed the verification of the weighted Euclidean inner product.  The key is again the fact that the weight is a strictly positive function on the interval

 The Inner Product - Home
So with The Inner Product I set out to write about technical subjects at the edges of professional game developers' understanding (or at least my own personal understanding), and to perform experiments that may be useful to professional programmers but also out-of-the-ordinary enough that people would not have explored those directions themselves.
The "inner product" is a mathematical operation, also commonly known as the "dot product"; this operation takes two vectors, which can be quite large many-dimensional quantities, and it crunches them together and yields for you a simple scalar value, telling you something about the relationship between those vectors.
Secondly, the name "inner product" signifies that we're building the mechanisms deep inside a game; whereas the players of a game see mostly the outer parts of the product (texture maps, 3D meshes and the like), it's that inner engine that makes it all possible.

The term inner product is particularly descriptive in our discussion here, since the multiplication is among internal parts (components) of the vectors, and – as we shall see later – works inside matrices.

An inner product, g: V -> V', is said to be positive definite iff, for all non-zero v in V, (gv)v > 0; likewise negative definite iff all such (gv)v = 0; negative semi-definite or non-positive definite iff all such (gv)v <= 0.
Where only one inner product enters into discussion, it is generally elided in favour of some piece of syntactic sugar, like a big dot between the two vectors, and practitioners don't take much effort to distinguish between vectors and their duals.
