Reviews
"The theory is systematically developed by the axiomatic method that has, since von Neumann, dominated the general approach to linear functional analysis and that achieves here a high degree of lucidity and clarity. 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. The book contains about 350 well placed and instructive problems, which cover a considerable part of the subject. All in all this is an excellent work, of equally high value for both student and teacher". Zentralblatt fuer Mathematik, "This is a classic but still useful introduction to modern linear algebra. It is primarily about linear transformations ... . It's also extremely well-written and logical, with short and elegant proofs. ... The exercises are very good, and are a mixture of proof questions and concrete examples. The book ends with a few applications to analysis ... and a brief summary of what is needed to extend this theory to Hilbert spaces."

- b***o (72)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseTransaction to delivery was quick. I was worried about the box being wet (it was raining when delivered) but the item was packed well and prevented the book from being wet. The item itself was as described. Overall a pleasant transaction. Will do business again :)
- 0***e (3477)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseExcellent USA seller with superb packaging and quick undamage delivery in the UK by Royal Mail. Book in effectively "as new" condition and better than described, also excellent value-for-money for a scarce book, especially in this condition! A 'top-drawer' seller and highly recommended. Many thanks indeed! PS for the benefit of Ebay's 'Nanny' tick boxes: Top quality and Appearance.
- c***l (270)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseOutstandingly fine experience in this purchase from Dinah Moe's Bookshop! The century-plus book was so carefully packaged, arrived well before I was expecting it and was in phenomenally great condition. I truly appreciated the kindness in the communication and in the timely responses. As anticipated the content of the book proved to be very helpful for my research too. Thank you so very much for your help! It was worth it, despite the terrible Global Shipping Program.
