Introductory Functional Analysis with Applications
by Erwin Kreyszig · Erwin Kreyszig
Applied-oriented introduction to functional analysis assuming only linear algebra and basic calculus. Covers metric, normed, Banach, and Hilbert spaces, the fundamental theorems, spectral theory, and unbounded operators, with applications to approximation theory and quantum mechanics and many worked problems.
