Questions people ask
2Why does \bigodot change size in LaTeX?
It is a variable-sized operator. Display math can enlarge it and place limits above and below; inline math usually keeps limits beside it.
Does ⨀ always mean element-wise multiplication?
No. Circled-dot notation can mark an element-wise product, but ⨀ has no universal operation; use the definition given for that formula.
