This book, originally published as "Finite-Dimensional Vector Spaces" has been regarded as a masterpiece of linear algebra. Due to its non-standard title, the book was often overlooked even by math majors. Now the book appears with the new title, new typesetting, and corrections. Asymmetry of the book cover is due to a formal display problem. Actual books are printed symmetrically. Please look at the paperback edition for the correct image.
