In summary, the conversation discusses two books on Real Analysis and Functional Analysis - "Rubin" and "Conway". The individual is seeking advice on which book to start reading and asks for others' experiences with the books. "Rubin" is considered the gold standard for Real Analysis and has good reviews on Amazon. "Conway" is also highly praised, but has fewer reviews. The suggestion is made to check out both books from a school library and decide for oneself.

I can’t decide which of these two books I should start reading. They are structured very differently so it’s hard to compare them before reading them. Can anyone fill me in on there experience with these books or maybe what things one has that the other doesn’t.

Rubin has been considered as the gold standard in Real Analysis. You might get some good feedback on Amazon.

For his functional analysis there’s not as many reviews but folks do like it a lot

But Conway is a great author too

Why not check them out of your school library and use them for your work? Then you’ll be able to decide for yourself.
 

1. What is the difference between Rudin Functional and Conway Functional?

Both Rudin Functional and Conway Functional are mathematical concepts used to describe certain properties of functions. The main difference between them is that Rudin Functional is used in complex analysis, while Conway Functional is used in functional analysis.

2. How are Rudin Functional and Conway Functional related?

Both Rudin Functional and Conway Functional are based on the concept of analytic functions, which are functions that can be expressed as a power series. However, Rudin Functional focuses on the behavior of analytic functions on closed disks, while Conway Functional focuses on the behavior on open disks.

3. What are some applications of Rudin Functional and Conway Functional?

Rudin Functional and Conway Functional are used in various areas of mathematics, such as complex analysis, functional analysis, and harmonic analysis. They are also used in physics and engineering to study the behavior of systems described by analytic functions.

4. Can Rudin Functional and Conway Functional be used interchangeably?

No, Rudin Functional and Conway Functional are distinct concepts and cannot be used interchangeably. They have different definitions and are used in different contexts. Using one in place of the other may lead to incorrect results.

5. Are there any limitations to Rudin Functional and Conway Functional?

Like any mathematical concept, Rudin Functional and Conway Functional have their own limitations. For example, Rudin Functional is limited to studying analytic functions on closed disks, while Conway Functional is limited to studying analytic functions on open disks. It is important to understand these limitations when applying these concepts to solve problems.
