Designed for a two-semester course at the graduate level, this text describes the theory and applications of functional analysis. In 38 short chapters, Lax (emeritus, mathematics, New York U.) addresses such topics as Banach spaces, weak sequential topologies, the Krein- Milman theorem, the Fredholm determinant, and scattering theory. Included in the appendices are a functional analytic proof of the Riesz-Kakutani representation theorem and an outline of the theory of distributions. Annotation c.
