Merge?
The following discussion relates to a now abandoned proposal to merge this article with calculus of variations.
Really, no way should this page be merged with calculus of variations. Phys, my man, these subjects diverged nearly a century ago. Charles Matthews 07:56, 5 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Additional remarks. I'm sure much of this is wrong, and much of the rest is POV. Some infinite-dimensional spaces can be shown to have a basis without AC, surely. Hahn-Banach can be side-stepped in separable spaces. And the advice is not necessarily good. Is any of this really important to keep?

"Since finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces are fully understood in linear algebra (...)"
That's not completely true. In fact, very much is unknown even about the geometry of <math>\mathbb{R}^3<math>!

Is it really kind to give the three volumes of Dunford and Schwartz as basic reference? Charles Matthews 18:42, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)
