Finite Dimensional Vector Spaces

Paul Halmos
(Springer, 1993)

(from “Math Words & Other Words”): “G. P. Hochschild worked with Halmos at the University of Chicago, and on hearing that Halmos was writing a book asked if his name would be in the book.”

And indeed, on page 198 we find the index entry:

Hochschild, G.P. 198
