Analysis Introductory Functional Analysis with Applications by Kreyszig

Click For Summary
"Introductory Functional Analysis with Applications" by Erwin Kreyszig is a comprehensive undergraduate textbook that covers essential topics in functional analysis while minimizing the complexity of measure theory and topology. The book begins with foundational concepts such as metric spaces, normed spaces, and Banach spaces, progressing to inner product spaces and Hilbert spaces. Key discussions include the properties of linear operators, bounded and continuous linear operators, and the significance of fundamental theorems like Zorn's Lemma and the Hahn-Banach Theorem. Applications of the Banach Fixed Point Theorem to linear and differential equations are highlighted, alongside approximation theory and spectral theory of linear operators. The text also addresses compact linear operators and their spectral properties, as well as unbounded linear operators in Hilbert space, with a specific focus on quantum mechanics concepts such as the Schrödinger equation. The inclusion of numerous problems enhances the learning experience, making it particularly suitable for students in physics.

This book is great. Measure theory & topology is kept to a minimum, and there's a chapter on quantum mechanics at the end, which would probably make it better for physics than math. oh, & 900 problems too.

Many years ago, as the internet was coming of age, I burned over 500 pounds of technical manuals. I realized I can look things up on the internet faster than I can find something in a technical manual. And just about anything I might need could be found online. But letting go of my several shelves worth of college text and other science books is another matter. I can't bring myself to get rid of them but there is very little if anything I can't find online now. Books are heavy and a pain...
