Text: A course in Functional Analysis, 2nd edition by John B. Conway, published by Springer.
Supplementary texts: Functional Analysis, by W. Rudin, published by McGraw-Hill; Functional Analysis, by K. Yosida, published by Springer.
Course Description: Linear operators on a Banach space and spectral theory, normal operators on Hilbert space, unbounded operators, Fredholm theory, and applications.
Course Outline: Selected topics among the following:
Expected Learning Outcomes: Bounded operators on Banach and Hilbert spaces and their spectral theories, Fredhom theory, unbounded operators, and applications.
Methods of Assessment of Learning Outcomes: Assessment of the learning outcomes will be achieved through homework assignments, two midterm exams, and a final exam.
Grading policy: Homework will be assigned weekly and will count for 30% of the grade. There will be two midterm exams in class, each will count for 20% of the grade.
