Prerequisite:  Advanced Calculus in one real variable (Math 431)

Text: Introductory Functional Analysis with Applications by Erwin Kreyszig, ISBN 0-471-50731-8, Wiley (1978).

Description: An introduction to the basic concepts, methods and applications of functional analysis. Topics covered include metric spaces, normed and Banach spaces,  linear operators, Hilbert spaces, representation of functionals on Hilbert space,  Hahn-Banach theorem , Uniform-boundedness theorem, weak* convergence, Open mapping theorem, Closed graph theorem,  contraction mapping theorem and applications, approximation theory and applications.

Homework and Tests: Homework will be assigned and collected weekly; see the assignments and due dates on the syllabus.  Late homework will not be accepted. The lowest homework score will be dropped.  There will be one mid-semester test and a final test, as well as a project; see the guidelines below.  The final exam will cover material primarily from the material after the second midterm test.  The following percentages may be used to compute the final grade: homework, 35%; tests, 25% each, project 15%.

Final Exam: Tuesday, May 13.

Grading:  90 => grade of A , 80 => grade of B or better, 70 => grade of C or better.

Project Guidelines:

Submit a 10 pages typed paper. Present paper in 20-25 minutes to the class. Include certain examples (beyond those worked out in the text), such as problems from the text, to illustrate the subject. Consultation with Morrow or other sources is appropriate. Projects focus on one of the following combinations of Sections from the text:

(a) 5.1,5.2; (b) 5.1, 5.3; (c) 5.1, 5.4; (d) 6.1-6.2, 6.3; (e) 6.1-6.2, 6.4 (assume 6.3); (f) 6.1-6.2, 6.5; (g) 6.1-6.2, 6.6; (h) 11.1-11.3.
