MATH 6220 — Applied Functional Analysis
General Information
Functional analysis is a branch of mathematical analysis that mainly focuses on the study of infinite-dimensional vector spaces and the operators acting upon them. It builds upon results and ideas from linear algebra and real and complex analysis to develop general frameworks that can be used to study analytical problems. Functional analysis plays a pivotal role in several areas of mathematics, physics, engineering, and even in some areas of computer science and economics.
