So the next question is what's the difference between matrixmultiply and dot in NumPy?

matrixmultiply is a deprecated compatibility name. Always use dot. dot will get replaced with the optimized dotblas implementation when an optimized BLAS is available. matrixmultiply will not (probably not intentionally, but I'm happy with the current situation).
