Abstract Linear Algebra (Hochschultexte / Universitexts) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Beginning from scratch and developing the standard topics of Linear Algebra, this book is intended as a text for a first course on the subject. The goal to which this work leads is the Theorem of Hurwitz - that the only normed algebras over the real numbers are the real numbers, the complex numbers, the quaternions, and the octonions. In presenting this material at an elementary level, the book stresses the complete logical development of the subject and should be a suitable reference for mathematicians in general.
