Description and Goals
This course is a continuation of MAA6616. The second semester consists of an introduction to functional analysis, including Banach spaces, Hilbert spaces, and the theory of linear operators. Other topics that may be included (depending on time and interest) are harmonic analysis and the Fourier transform, the theory of distributions, the spectral theorem, and an introduction to Banach algebras.
