Abstract
These are notes designed to bring the beginning student of the
philosophy of quantum mechanics 'up to scratch' on the mathematical
background needed to understand elementary finite-dimensional
quantum theory.
There are just three chapters: Ch. 1 'Vector Spaces';
Ch. 2 'Inner Product Spaces'; and
Ch. 3 'Operators on Finite-Dimensional Complex Inner Product Spaces'.
The
notes are entirely self-contained and presuppose knowledge of only
high school level algebra.
