Scalar multiplication is an operation involving a vector (or a matrix) and a scalar (a single number). In this operation, each component of the vector (or each entry of the matrix) is multiplied by the scalar. This operation scales the vector or matrix, effectively changing its magnitude but not its direction (for vectors, with the exception of scaling by a negative scalar, which also reverses the direction).
