    Multiplication of two vectors is not an operation defined on vector spaces. If you want that, you’re looking at either a structure known as an inner product space or an algebra over a field.

    Note that the usual notion of polynomial multiplication doesn’t apply to polynomial vector spaces, nor does it agree with the definition of an inner product nor the bilinear product of an algebra.
