Functional Analysis

Catalog description

This course on applications of concepts in functional analysis gives special emphasis to function spaces used in practice, including Hilbert, Hardy, and Sobolev spaces. Other topics covered include the spectral theorem and its application to differential equations, Fourier series, compact operators, Fredholm determinants, measure, volume, and nonlinear analysis for infinite-dimensional spaces, and Brownian motion. Prerequisite: Grade C or better in MATH-SHU 339 (Real variables). Fulfillment: Math Constrained Math elective; Honors Math elective.
