BASICS OF FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS provides well-balanced introduction to functional analysis. The main objective of this book is to provide basic concepts of functional analysis. The subject has been described systematically so that the students can solve the problems easily. The book is motivated by applications which make clear not only how, but why the field developed. It gives fundamental concepts about the theory, application and various methods involving functional analysis for undergraduate and graduate students. It will also help students of applied mathematics, statistics, operations research, engineering and theoretical physics.
