Return on the 1932 proof of the Mazur-Ulam Theorem

In 1932, Mazur and Ulam proved that any isometry f of a normed space E , with f(0)=0, is necessarily a linear transformation. The following article revisits that theorem and its proof: Borboleta_2012_Return-on-the-1932-proof-of-the-Mazur-Ulam-Theorem.pdf

Homework on Jordan-Neumann Inner Product Space Characterization

Here is an homework that revisits  (in the simplest case of real vector space) the proof of 1935 by Jordan and von Neumann, that a vector normed space satisfying the parallelogram law can be equiped with an inner productBorboleta_2012_Homework-on-Jordan-Neumann-Inner-Product-Spaces-Characterization.pdf.

 In this proof, the triangular inequality proprety of the norm is invoked for a continuity argument, but otherwise not used.
