Cayley-Dickson Process, Hurwitz Theorem. 330 $aBeginning from scratch and developing the standard topics of Linear Algebra, this book is intended as a text for a first course on the subject. The goal to which this work leads is the Theorem of Hurwitz - that the only normed algebras over the real numbers are the real numbers, the complex numbers, the quaternions, and the octonions. Unique in presenting this material at an elementary level, the book stresses the complete logical development of the subject and will provide a bavuable reference for mathematicians in general. 410 0$aUniversitext,$x0172-5939 606 $aMatrix theory 606 $aAlgebra 606 $aLinear and Multilinear Algebras, Matrix Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M11094 615 0$aMatrix theory. 615 0$aAlgebra. 615 14$aLinear and Multilinear Algebras, Matrix Theory. 676 $a512/.5 700 $aCurtis$b Morton L$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$045893 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480731603321 996 $aAbstract linear algebra$9382827 997 $aUNINA
