Symmetric Operators in Lang’s Linear Algebra p.219

39 Views Asked by At

I’m having trouble understanding how Lang in his third edition of Linear Algebra “reformulated” theorem 3.1 into 4.1.

This is theorem 3.1, which I totally understand:

Let $A$ be a symmetric $n$ by $n$ real matrix. Then there exists a nonzero real eigenvector for $A$.

This is theorem 4.1, which was said to have been reformulated from the above:

Let $V$ be a finite dimensional vector space with a positive definite symmetric bilinear form. Let $A:V\to V$ be a symmetric linear map. Then $A$ has a nonzero eigenvector.

I don’t know how 4.1 is related to 3.1 and I’ve been trying to figure this out for some time. Any help would be appreciated.
