Applied Functional Analysis

Catalog description

Introduction to rigorous mathematical analysis from the perspective of applications. Topics include: metric and normed spaces; convergence; completeness; continuity; Lebesgue measure theory; convergence theorems; Banach, Hilbert, Lp, and Sobolev spaces; orthogonality, bases, and projections; Sturm-Liouville theory; spectral theory; distributions; and weak solutions. Applications including to differential and integral equations, are presented throughout. Knowledge of real analysis is required, or graduate level introductory courses in mathematical physics or applied mathematics should be taken prior to taking this course.
