| The present volume is the second in the author's series of three dealing with abstract algebra. For an understanding of this volume a certain familiarity with the basic concepts treated in Volume I£ogroups, rings, fields, homomorphisms, is presup-posed. However, we have tried to make this account of linear algebra independent of a detailed knowledge of our first volume.References to specific results are given occasionally but some of the fundamental concepts needed have been treated again. In short, it is hoped that this volume can be read with complete understanding by any 'student who is mathematically sufficiently mature and who has a familiarity with the standard notions of modern algebra. 此书为英文版! |
