With the advent of fast digital computers, the mathematical methods used for modelling, assessing and controlling large complex engineering systems are being strained to the utmost. For example, space and aircraft research, nuclear engineering and power systems now use advanced computer techniques for their design, construction and operation. Areas of analysis which were confined mainly to the realm of pure mathemeticians only two decades ago are now being utilised by engineers. Probability spaces, eigen-:" vectors and state-spaces are some of the many concepts employed in such analyses. Multivariable engineering problems are now often expressed, mathematically, in terms of abstract spaces and subspaces.
