##Definition of Inner Product of Functions
-We begin proving this hypothesis by considering that any function on the right-hand side of our hypothesis is uniquely defined by the co-efficients of the terms $a_0$ through $a_n$ and $b_1$ through $b_n$. This can be taken to mean that every function is really a vector in an $2n+1$-dimensional 'Hilbert space'.(*perhaps someone can clarify this?*)

This can be taken to mean that every function is really a vector in a $2n+1$-dimensional 'Hilbert space'.(*perhaps someone can clarify this?*)
We now proceed to define certain operations on these functions in Hilbert space. One operation that will be particularly useful is that of the inner product of two functions:
---> define inner product here
-This is the definition for a function of real numbers. For a function on complex numbers, the above definition must be altered as follows:
+This is the inner product of 2 real-number functions. For a function on complex numbers, the above definition must be altered as follows:
--> altered function here
*Note: These are purely definitions, and we are now definining the inner product to ensure that inner product of f and f is a real number.*
