SUMMARY

Linear analysis is closely connected to traditional analysis through its foundational concepts in measure theory and functional analysis. These areas utilize advanced topics such as set theory and topology, which enrich the understanding of functions and their properties. While linear analysis focuses on linear systems, it is essential to recognize its overlap with functional analysis, which deals with sets of functions and their topological properties. This connection highlights the importance of epsilon-delta definitions in both linear and traditional analysis.

How is it connected to more traditional anlysis. I view analysis as epsilon delta stuff. But topics in linear anlaysis like measure theory and functional analysis seem to involve richer stuff like set theory which borders topology.

I've never heard of "linear analysis" (I have heard of non-linear analysis). The things you mention are all part of "functional analysis" which, since it involves sets of functions does, indeed, use much more topology.
