A fine example of a great mathematician's intellect and mathematical style, this classic on linear algebra is widely cited in the literature. The treatment is an ideal supplement to many traditional linear algebra texts and is accessible to undergraduates...
This book, originally published as "Finite-Dimensional Vector Spaces" has been regarded as a masterpiece of linear algebra. Due to its non-standard title, the book was often overlooked even by math majors. Now the book appears with the new title,...
Written by a prominent analyst Paul R. Halmos, this is the most famous, popular, and widely used textbook in the subject. The book is readable for its conciseness and clear explanation.
This concise introductory treatment consists of three chapters: The Geometry of Hilbert Space, The Algebra of Operators, and The Analysis of Spectral Measures. Author Paul R. Halmos notes in the Preface that his motivation in writing this text was to make...
"In one hundred and nine well-packed pages one finds an exposition which is always fresh, proofs which are sophisticated, and a choice of subject matter which is certainly timely.. Most pages exhibit a zest for play as well as work which is refreshing....
2014 Reprint of 1962 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. In "Algebraic Logic" Halmos devised polyadic algebras, an algebraic version of first-order logic differing from the better...
2013 Reprint of 1951 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. The subject matter of the book is funneled into three chapters: [1] The geometry of Hubert space; [2] the structure of self-adjoint...
