Linear algebra book have vector spaces

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking a comprehensive understanding of linear algebra, particularly in vector spaces, several key texts are recommended. Halmos' "Finite-Dimensional Vector Spaces" and Serge Lang's "Linear Algebra" are highlighted as essential reads. Additionally, Hoffman and Kunze's work is noted for its depth. Bamberg & Sternberg's "A Course in Mathematics for Students of Physics" is also suggested for its relevance to physics students. The discussion emphasizes the abundance of freely available linear algebra resources online, often created by professors for their courses, making it easier for learners to access quality material.

hey can someone suggest me a linear algebra book which dwells into topics of vector spaces(linear) ?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Halmos - Finite-Dimensional Vector Spaces
Serge Lang - Linear Algebra
 
what are the best linear algebra books around?
 
Hoffman and Kunze
 
I feel compelled to mention Bamberg & Sternberg's A course in mathematics for students of physics.

However, linear algebra seems to be a subject that many professors like to write about. You will find many downloadable (meaning free as in beer) linear algebra texts on the web, that are the basis (no pun intended) for courses they're teaching.
 

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
