on this topic: this bilinear form is non-degenerate right? I'm not exactly sure how to show that though...

Oh ok. That makes sense to me. Thanks. Well I have your attention; In general distributivity on subspaces is not true. It is easy to show that this is the case by counter-example. Halmos however then asks us to prove that: for L,M and N that are subspaces on a vector space show that...

Interesting. Perhaps you can help me with a problem I am having? Is it possible to have a vector space of an infinite set with a larger cardinality then the field on which it is defined? (example: Real numbers defined over the field of rationals) I understand that the field provides scalars...

True. However, for problems I am unable to solve and to see how my solutions compare to what the author had in mind, a solutions guide would be ideal. Does a solutions manual exist? Thanks, Steve

Hello, I am currently working out of FDVS - Halmos, and I was wondering if a solutions manual (for the problems at the end of each section) existed? I'd like to be able to check my work. Thanks, Steve P.S Sorry if this is an inappropriate post for this section.
