TAILIEUCHUNG - PROBLEMS AND THEOREMS IN LINEAR ALGEBRA

This book contains the basics of linear algebra with an emphasis on nonstandard and neat proofs of known theorems. Many of the theorems of linear algebra obtained mainly during the past 30 years are usually ignored in text-books but are quite accessible for students majoring or minoring in mathematics. These theorems are given with complete proofs. There are about 230 problems with solutions. | PROBLEMS AND THEOREMS IN LINEAR ALGEBRA V. Prasolov ABSTRACT. This book contains the basics of linear algebra with an emphasis on nonstandard and neat proofs of known theorems. Many of the theorems of linear algebra obtained mainly during the past 30 years are usually ignored in text-books but are quite accessible for students majoring or minoring in mathematics. These theorems are given with complete proofs. There are about 230 problems with solutions. Typeset by X S-TeX 1 CONTENTS Preface Main notations and conventions Chapter I.
