A formula for angles between subspaces of inner product spacesHendra Gunawan, Oki Neswan and Wono Setya-BudhiDepartment of Mathematics, Bandung Institute of Technology, Bandung 40132, Indonesia, e-mail: hgunawan@dns.math.itb.ac.id, e-mail: oneswan@dns.math.itb.ac.id, e-mail: wono@dns.math.itb.ac.idAbstract: We present an explicit formula for angles between two subspaces of inner product spaces. Our formula serves as a correction for, as well as an extension of, the formula proposed by Risteski and Tren{\v c}evski [R]. As a consequence of our formula, a generalized Cauchy-Schwarz inequality is obtained. [R] Risteski, I. B.; Tren{\v c}evski, K.
