Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. Want to Read Currently Reading Read. Invariably, I end up poring over the relevant material in Halmos to ensure that both the exposition in some other text and my understanding of the topic is correct. Herstein is a bit obscure for a first course.
He wrote back a nice letter. It's possible to have a quite fast introduction to linear algebra, but then are missing out on a lot if don't work carefully through a classic text such as Hoffman and Kunze.
Finite-Dimensional Vector Spaces
Be the first to ask a question about Finite-Dimensional Vector Spaces. For linear programming, get a good book on linear programming, e. Avinash K rated it really liked it Jun 13, Foundations of Modern Analysis, Volume 1 J. Go through a lot of stuff in linear transformations and then discover something really simple: DeFreitas rated it it was amazing May 28, Vlad Korolev rated it it was amazing Sep 28, He gave me a more difficult related problem, and I made a mess out of it.
Kac : Review: Paul R. Halmos, Finite dimensional vector spaces
Horn is very precise with high quality. The presentation is never awkward or dry, as it sometimes is in other "modern" textbooks; it is as unconventional as one has come to expect from the author.
I went to the department chair and tried to get into some material I didn't know but wanted to, especially differential geometry for relativity. He asked me something about Galois theory, which is in Herstein and which I learned from there for his exam.
Yagyavendra Kumawat rated it it was amazing Jan 04, Yes, on problems in Herstein, there was one on rings. Vectot part of my application to his grad school, I did include a copy of the Halmos letter!
After all that study, mostly independently and part of my career in applied math and computing, eventually I took Horn's course, intended to be dimensionl advanced course. Cory Brunson rated it it was amazing Aug 17, Dimensioal proof of the Hamilton-Cayley theorem is a little less general than the one in, say, E.
That's true and easy to show, mostly just pushing symbols around, and the notation can get a little confusing, but is not true in some cases. Eduardo Stabel rated it really liked it Feb 18, There is emphasis on duality, as is important in functional analysis including Hilbert space.
Felix rated it it was amazing Mar 04, Can see some of this in, say, G.
His other question was about duality. The other direction assumes finite fields and is aimed at high end abstract algebra and has applications in, say, algebraic coding theory high end error correcting codes.
Why no Halmos, "Finite-dimensional vector spaces"? It's pretty theoretical but v | Hacker News
Jon rated it really liked it Feb 04, He told me ha,mos. There are no discussion topics on this book yet. I took an undergrad algebra class from a very old-school prof who thought it would be good for undergrads to be exposed to some of the problems - they gave all of us quite a bit of trouble.
