Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics Beginning Functional Analysis Karen Saxe Mathematics / Mathematical Analysis The unifying approach of functional analysis is to view functions as points in some abstract vector space and the differential and integral operators as linear transformations on these spaces. It has been the author's goal to presen
