About this title: As a newly minted Ph.D., Paul Halmos came to the Institute for Advanced Study in 1938 - even though he did not have a fellowship - to study among the many giants of mathematics who had recently joined the faculty. He eventually became John von Neumann's research assistant, and it was one of von Neumann's inspiring lectures that spurred Halmos to write "Finite Dimensional Vector Spaces". The book brought him instant fame as an expositor of mathematics. "Finite Dimensional Vector Spaces" combines algebra and geometry to discuss the three-dimensional area where vectors can be plotted. The book ...

"I own at least a dozen books on various aspects of linear algebra, ranging from community college level textbooks (Anton) to treatments targeting specific industries such as computer graphics. Invariably, I end up poring over the relevant material in Halmos to ensure that both the exposition in some other text and my understanding of the topic is correct.
Time spent reading this relatively thin book is measured in "hours per page." It's time well spent."
