Description

Book Synopsis
This textbook is an introduction to the theory of Hilbert space and its applications. The notion of Hilbert space is central in functional analysis and is used in numerous branches of pure and applied mathematics. Some basic familiarity with real analysis, linear algebra and metric spaces is assumed, but otherwise the book is self-contained.

Trade Review
' … the author's style is a delight. Each topic is carefully motivated and succinctly presented, and the exposition is enthusiastic and limpid … Young has done a really fine job in presenting a subject of great mathematical elegance as well as genuine utility, and I recommend it heartily.' The Times Higher Education Supplement
