Normed spaces, Hilbert spaces, operators, and big theorems.
Investigates infinite-dimensional vector spaces. Banach spaces are complete normed vector spaces \((X, \|\cdot\|)\); Hilbert spaces \(\mathcal{H}\) are complete inner product spaces with norm \(\|f\| = \sqrt{\langle f, f \rangle}\). The \(L^2[a, b]\) inner product is \(\langle f, g \rangle = \int_a^b f(x)\overline{g(x)}dx\). Riesz representation theorem establishes an isometric isomorphism between \(\mathcal{H}\) and its continuous dual space \(\mathcal{H}^*\). Orthogonal expansions decompose functions over orthonormal bases \(f = \sum \langle f, e_n \rangle e_n\).
