The 2H Linear Analysis Web Page
- As long as algebra and geometry have been separated, their progress
have been slow and their uses limited; but when these two sciences have
been united, they have lent each mutual forces, and have marched together
towards perfection.
- - Joseph-Louis Lagrange
- I regard as quite useless the reading of large treatises of pure analysis:
too large a number of methods pass at once before the eyes. It is in the works
of applications that one must study them; one judges their ability there and
one apprises the manner of making use of them.
- - Joseph-Louis Lagrange
- We [he and Halmos] share a philosophy about linear algebra: we think
basis-free, we write basis-free , but when the chips are down we close the
office door and compute with matrices like fury.
- - Irving Kaplansky
- If a lunatic scribbles a jumble of mathematical symbols it does not
follow that the writing means anything merely because to the inexpert eye
it is indistinguishable from higher mathematics.
- - Eric Temple Bell

Welcome to the home page for the module 2H Linear Analysis
at the University of Durham, Michaelmas Term 1999.
Sadly, the course has now concluded and most of the information has been
removed. So you may find that some links, especially those to handouts,
problems and solutions, no longer work properly.

In case you missed it!
Highlights (or in some cases Lowlights!) from 2H last year...
