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.
