A First Course in Functional Analysis AUTH-8792960 and - to all outsideThis introduction to functional analysis is based on the lecture notes of Martin Davis, a distinguished professor of mathematics. The treatment demonstrates the essential unity of mathematics without assuming more background than can be expected of advanced undergraduates and graduate students majoring in mathematics. A self contained exposition of Gelfand's proof of Wiener's theorem, this volume explores set theoretic preliminaries, normed linear
