Functional Analysis: A First Course M. Thamban Nair

 Price Rs 250/=

Book Description: PHI Learning, 2007.  Intended as an introductory-level text on Functional Analysis for the postgraduate students in Mathematics, this compact and well-organized text covers all the topics considered essential to the subject. In so doing, it provides a very good understanding of the subject to the reader. The book begins with a review of linear algebra, and then it goes on to give the basic notion of a norm on linear space (proving thereby most of the basic results), progresses gradually, dealing with operators, and proves some of the basic theorems of Functional Analysis. Besides, the book analyzes more advanced topics like dual space considerations, compact operators, and spectral theory of Banach and Hilbert space operators. The text is so organized that it strives, particularly in the last chapter, to apply and relate the basic theorems to problems which arise while solving operator equations. Contents Preface.
