?
When a decimal number is integer, the dot is not displayed. With your 
dot, it would give
1 + 2·s - 0.27·s^2
So the confusion could be only with cases like 1 + 2.55.s

I was told that in formulae, the most standard is to use space between 
multiplied symbols.
This is what looks the most widely used. Please see for example
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocorrelation or any other page using a 
lot of maths.

Output with \cdot :

vs wider space

or still wider:
