Could any of you recommend a functional analysis textbook?
I have looked at "Methods of modern mathematical physics" by Reed&Simon, but they assume a pure-maths BSc background, thus this book is not ideal for me. About my background: I have an Applied Physics BSc and starting a Theoretical Physics master program with emphasis on strings and QFT.
Mostly I am interested in Hilbert spaces, as well as other things that have (possibly indirect) connections to quantum field theory/quantum mechanics, such as Banach spaces, topological spaces or operators.
