Functional Analysis (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781009243902)

Since its inception in the early 20th century, Functional Analysis has become a core part of modern mathematics. This accessible and lucid textbook will guide students through the basics of Functional Analysis and the theory of Operator Algebras. The text begins with a review of Linear Algebra and Measure Theory. It progresses to concepts like Banach spaces, Hilbert spaces, Dual spaces and Weak Topologies. Subsequent chapters introduce the theory of operator algebras as a guide to study linear operators on a Hilbert space and cover topics such as Spectral Theory and C*-algebras. Theorems have been introduced and explained through proofs and examples, and historical background to the mathematical concepts have been provided wherever appropriate. At the end of chapters, practice exercises have been segregated in a topic-wise manner for targeted practice, making the book ideal both for classroom teaching as well as self-study.
