It really depends on you... Everyone's brain works differently. Also depends on how much time can you dedicate to that. If you don't have anything else to do, then you can finish any book in a month, provided you have enough backround to understand the first chapter
But if your purpose is not to "finish a book", but rather understand its contents, I would make a study plan with excersises and use several books and online sources instead
If a finite dimensional operator $T$ is diagonalizable, does this imply that the corresponding pairs of eigenspaces and generalized eigenspaces are equal.
Actually, as far as I know, math education in public schools is terrible in every country. There's very little real progress, because most of the people who manage that process on the top level have no idea what is math, how does it work and how to teach it
I see people in my college (physics) hate physics so much in fact one time I asked a couple of them about the definition of work... they where in their third year at the time ...you won't believe it . Many of them didn't know what work is in physics. @ yurt s
That's pretty sad. I understand, that in some countries the situation is worse than in the others... No idea how to make it better, so maybe you'd think of something
If $Y and $Z$ are subspaces in $X$ which are homeomorphic, and $Y$ is a retract of $X$, does it follow that $Z$ is a retract of $X$? I can't seem to prove this, so it makes me wonder whether it is true.
Ah, dang it! I messed up the latex. Here's the corrected version: If $Y$ and $Z$ are subspaces in $X$ which are homeomorphic, and $Y$ is a retract of $X$, does it follow that $Z$ is a retract of $X$? I can't seem to prove this, so it makes me wonder whether it is true.
