Following Rob Taggart's introductory seminar last year, Functional
Calculus for Dummies, we continue on from the Hilbert space setting to
consider functional calculi for operators on Banach spaces.

After a review of the basic ideas of spectral decomposition and
functional calculus, we focus on the classes of well-bounded and
spectral operators. Of particular interest are the cases where the
'usual' functional calculus may be extended to a larger algebra of
functions.
