Synopsis

In recent years, knowledge of vector spaces has become an essential part of the mathematical background required of physicists, engineers and other scientists due to their numerous applications. It is now taught in the departments of physics and mathematics in almost all colleges and universities. This book is designed as a foundation course for undergraduate and postgraduate students of physics in vector spaces and their wide-ranging applications in many physical problems. Key features: Development of each topic from first principles Emphasis on the applications of basic concepts and techniques In-text examples to give better insights to students into complicated concepts Inclusion of solved examples at the end of each chapter Supplementary problems for additional practice, with answers to selected problems Suitable for independent study, besides use as a textbook Important theorems with proofs, in separate boxes Generous use of figures to annotate the text Bibliography at the end of the book as a reference for further reading
