Download or read book Basic Classes of Linear Operators written by Israel Gohberg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2003-10-24 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive graduate textbook that introduces functional analysis with an emphasis on the theory of linear operators and its application to differential equations, integral equations, infinite systems of linear equations, approximation theory, and numerical analysis. As a textbook designed for senior undergraduate and graduate students, it begins with the geometry of Hilbert spaces and proceeds to the theory of linear operators on these spaces including Banach spaces. Presented as a natural continuation of linear algebra, the book provides a firm foundation in operator theory which is an essential part of mathematical training for students of mathematics, engineering, and other technical sciences.
