The usual English term for that is dot product. "Scalar product" is correct
but is not idiomatic in English, which may explain why people are confused.
(Although it seems that most languages despite English use some form of
"scalar product", except Norsk, where it looks "inner product".)

I believe that the right English term for what this patch changes is "scalar
multiplication".
