Books about vector spaces (advanced)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on recommendations for advanced algebra books focused on vector spaces, specifically finite-dimensional spaces. A key suggestion is "Advanced Linear Algebra" by Roman, noted for its comprehensive coverage and high regard in the mathematics community. For those seeking a less advanced, undergraduate-level resource, "Linear Algebra Done Right" by Axler is recommended for its extensive treatment of vector spaces. The original poster, Ricardo Sousa, confirms interest specifically in finite-dimensional spaces.

Hello everyone,

I’m looking for very good books of advanced algebra that have a lot of information about vector spaces algebra, in particular.

Would you suggest anyone?

Many thanks

Best regards

Hey GoodSpirit.

You should probably mention whether you want finite or infinite-dimensional spaces since the theory regarding the two is different from one to the other.

I really thank you both! :)

True Chiro, they are! I'm looking for finite-dimension spaces theory.

All the best

TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from summaries but comprehensive books, I will start a graduate program related to cern in 3 months, I alreadily knew some qft but now I want to do it, hence do a good book with good problems in it first...
TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...
