Supplementary Reference Material

 

Our book addresses essential topics at the intermediate level in set theory in Chapter 1, abstract algebra (resp. algebraic structures) in Chapter 2, linear algebra and matrix algebra in Chapters 3 and 4, metric spaces (resp. real analysis and topological structures) in Chapter 5, Banach and Hilbert spaces (resp. functional analysis) in Chapter 6, and linear operators (resp. functional analysis) in Chapter 7. Since each one of these topics constitutes a subject in its own right, references for supplementary reading are provided at the end of each chapter. Some of these were selected because they are classic books on the subject under discussion while others provide an especially good exposition of the material on hand. In the following, in addition to the references cited in our book, we enumerate some additional material which the reader may find useful for further study of the addressed topics.

 

References for Chapter 1 include [1]-[3].

 

References for Chapter 2 include [4]-[7]. For more recent texts on abstract algebra refer, e.g. to [8]-[10].

 

References for Chapters 3 and 4 include [11]-[16]. For more recent references on linear algebra and matrix algebra, the reader may wish to consult, e.g. [17]-[21].

 

References for Chapter 5 include [22]-[25] and [29]. For more recent references on real analysis (resp. metric spaces) the reader may want to consult, e.g. [26]-[28].

 

References for Chapters 6 and 7 include [29]-[40]. For more recent references on functional analysis the reader may want to consult, e.g. [41]-[43].
