Although this edition has deviated substantially from the first edition, it has still retained the overall plan, selection, and arrangement of the topics.
The text is primarily devoted to the applications of functional analysis to applied analysis. However, these concepts have been extended and modernized. Some topics of functional analysis connected with applications to mathematical economics and control theory are also included in this edition.
The applications of functional analysis are both wide and far-reaching as these are common language for all areas of mathematics involving the concept of continuity. Those who are in the field of mathematics, mechanics, and theoretical physics will find this book a valuable resource.
