Course overview
This course can be thought of as a continuation of Higher Analysis MATH3611. Functional analysis is a central pillar of modern analysis, and we will cover its foundations.
Topics from: Hilbert spaces, Banach spaces, topologies on vector spaces, bounded operators, compact operators, Banach and C*-algebras, applications including Fourier series and integral equations.
It also has a very close relationship to measure and integration theory (MATH5825).
