Course information


OBS! An extra class will be on Tuesady, June 7, in room 3721 at 15:00.
OBS! The FA exam will be on Friday, June 10, in room 3721 between 10:00 - 14:00.

The main goal is to give an introduction to the basics of functional analysis and operator theory, and to some of their (very numerous) applications.

First lecture will be on Tuesday January 18 between 14:15-16:00 in the seminar room 3721, institutionen för matematik.
We continue our lectures every second Tuesday between 13:15-16:00 in 3721 with one exception: our second lecture will be on January 31 between 10:15-13:00 in room E3.
