All major topics belonging to a first course in functional analysis are covered. However, unlike traditional introductions to the subject, Banach spaces are emphasized over Hilbert spaces, and many details are presented in a novel manner, such as the proof of the Hahn\u003cb\u003e–\u003c\/b\u003eBanach theorem based on an inf-convolution technique, the proof of Schauder's theorem, and the proof of the Milman\u003cb\u003e–\u003c\/b\u003ePettis theorem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the inclusion of many illustrative examples and exercises, \u003ci\u003eAn Introductory Course in Functional Analysis\u003c\/i\u003e equips the reader to apply the theory and to master its subtleties. It is therefore well-suited as a textbook for a one- or two-semester introductory course in functional analysis or as a companion for independent study.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-12-12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781493919444\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4939-1945-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 232\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45987044458636,"sku":"9781493919444","price":80.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781493919444.jpg?v=1775729234","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781493919444","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
