It depends on the context. A dot could be:

  • a decimal point
  • above a digit after a decimal: an indication of recurrence
  • if one of three dots: it could stand for "and so on" eg 1, 2, 3, ...
  • a symbol for multiplication: eg a.b = ab
  • a dot product in vectors
  • a mathematical operation in group theory.
