Abstract
Thus far we have treated the theory of linear vector spaces . The vector spaces, however, were somewhat “structureless,” and so it will be desirable to introduce a concept of metric or measure into the linear vector spaces. We call a linear vector space where the inner product is defined an inner product space.
