Notes on Functional Analysis By Rajendra Bhatia

These notes are a record of a one semester course on Functional Analysis that I have given a few times to the second year students in the Master of Statistics program at the Indian Statistical Institute, Delhi. I first taught this course in 1987 to an exceptionally weIl prepared batch of five students, three of whom have gone on to become very successful mathematicians. Ten years after the course one of them suggested that my lecture notes could be useful for others. I had just finished writing a book in 1996 and was loathe to begin another so on afterwards. I decided instead to prepare an almost verbatim record of what I said in the dass the next time I taught the course. This was easier thought than done. The notes written in parts over three different years of teaching were finally ready in 2004. This background should explain the somewhat unusual format of the book. Unlike the typical text it is not divided into chapters and sections, and it is neither self-contained nor comprehensive. The division is into lectures each corresponding to a 90 minutes dassroom session. Each is broken into small units that are numbered.
