History of Functional Analysis presents functional analysis as a rather complex blend of algebra and topology, with its evolution influenced by the development of these two branches of mathematics.

The book adopts a narrower definition—one that is assumed to satisfy various algebraic and topological conditions.

A moment of reflections shows that this already covers a large part of modern analysis, in particular, the theory of partial differential equations.

This volume comprises nine chapters, the first of which focuses on linear differential equations and the Sturm-Liouville problem.

The succeeding chapters go on to discuss the ""crypto-integral"" equations, including the Dirichlet principle and the Beer-Neumann method; the equation of vibrating membranes, including the contributions of Poincare and H.

A.

Schwarz's 1885 paper; and the idea of infinite dimension.

Other chapters cover the crucial years and the definition of Hilbert space, including Fredholm's discovery and the contributions of Hilbert; duality and the definition of normed spaces, including the Hahn-Banach theorem and the method of the gliding hump and Baire category; spectral theory after 1900, including the theories and works of F.

Riesz, Hilbert, von Neumann, Weyl, and Carleman; locally convex spaces and the theory of distributions; and applications of functional analysis to differential and partial differential equations.

This book will be of interest to practitioners in the fields of mathematics and statistics.
