2012 Reprint of 1942 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. 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 broke ground as the first formal introduction to linear
algebra, a branch of modern mathematics that studies vectors and
vector spaces. The book continues to exert its influence sixty
years after publication, as linear algebra is now widely used, not
only in mathematics but also in the natural and social sciences,
for studying such subjects as weather problems, traffic flow,
electronic circuits, and population genetics. In 1983 Halmos
received the coveted Steele Prize for exposition from the American
Mathematical Society for "his many graduate texts in mathematics
dealing with finite dimensional vector spaces, measure theory,
ergodic theory, and Hilbert space."
