Course No. : MATH F341

Course Title : INTRODUCTION TO FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS
Instructor-in-Charge : SANGITA YADAV

1. Scope and Objective of the Course: Functional analysis plays an important role in the applied
sciences as well as in mathematics itself. This course is intended to familiarize the student with the
basic concepts, principles and methods of functional analysis and its applications in a form suitable
for engineers, scientists and applied Mathematicians. Ideas are not always generated by logical
process. An engineer may have a feeling for a problem which may lead him in a method of solution
but justifying part of that needs analysis. Several concepts of functional analysis were invented as
there was need from integral and differential equations. Functional analysis is needed in numerical
analysis and differential equations. Modern theory of partial differential equations relies heavily on
functional analysis. Theoretical study of numerical solution of partial differential equations is also
based on functional Analysis.

2. Course Description: Normed linear spaces, Banach Spaces; Continuous Linear transformations,
open mapping theorem, Closed graph theorem, Uniform boundedness Principle, Hahn Banach
theorem, Hilbert Space theory, Dual space, Direct sum and orthogonal compliment in Hilbert
spaces, Function spaces, Symmetric and self adjoint linear mapping in Hilbert spaces , Finite
Rank and Compact transformations, spectral theory, Differential equations and linear
transformations
