Special Course in Functional Analysis: (Non-)Commutative Topology
by Ville Turunen
Publisher: Aalto TKK 2008
Number of pages: 83
Description:
In this book you will learn something about functional analytic framework of topology. And you will get an access to more advanced literature on non-commutative geometry, a quite recent topic in mathematics and mathematical physics. The prerequisite for this course is some elementary understanding of Banach spaces.

Optimization Algorithms on Matrix Manifoldsby P.-A. Absil, R. Mahony, R. Sepulchre - Princeton University Press
Many science and engineering problems can be rephrased as optimization problems on matrix search spaces endowed with a manifold structure. This book shows how to exploit the structure of such problems to develop efficient numerical algorithms.
