Linear Algebra and Geometry

Product Description

This advanced textbook on linear algebra and geometry covers a wide range of classical and modern topics Differing from most existing textbooks in approach, the work illustrate the many-sided applications and connections of linear algebra with functional analysis quantum mechanics, and algebraic and differential geometry The subjects covered in some detail include normed linear spaces, functions of linear operators, the basic structures of quantum mechanics and an introduction to linear programming. Also discussed are Kahter's metric,-the theory of Hilbert polynomials, and projective and affine geometries Unusual in its extensive use of applications in physics to clarify each topic, this co…
