About this Item

Paperback. This introduction to functional analysis is based on the lecture notes of Martin Davis, a distinguished professor of mathematics.

Numerous problems appear throughout the book. Designed for undergraduate mathematics majors, this self-contained exposition of Gelfand's proof of Wiener's theorem explores set theoretic preliminaries, normed linear spaces and algebras, functions on Banach spaces, homomorphisms on normed linear spaces, and more. 1966 edition.
