APPLIED ANALYSIS
by John K Hunter & Bruno Nachtergaele (University of California, Davis) (The authors own the rights of this title)
This book provides an introduction to those parts of analysis that are most useful in applications for graduate students. The material is selected for use in applied problems, and is presented clearly and simply but without sacrificing mathematical rigor.
The text is accessible to students from a wide variety of backgrounds, including undergraduate students entering applied mathematics from non-mathematical fields and graduate students in the sciences and engineering who want to learn analysis. A basic background in calculus, linear algebra and ordinary differential equations, as well as some familiarity with functions and sets, should be sufficient.
Contents:
- Metric and Normed Spaces
- Continuous Functions
- The
Contraction Mapping Theorem
- Topological Spaces
- Banach Spaces
- Hilbert Spaces
- Fourier Series
- Bounded Linear Operators on a Hilbert Space
- The Spectrum of Bounded Linear Operators
- Linear Differential Operators and Green's Functions
- Distributions and the Fourier Transform
- Measure Theory and Function Spaces
- Differential Calculus and Variational Methods
Readership: Graduate students in applied analysis.
"The presentation is clear and proofs for most of the results used are given ... The book is accessible to students from a wide variety of backgrounds and has as prerequisites only basic calculus, linear algebra and ordinary differential equations."
