Description:

This straight-forward, concise book is made up of carefully selected topics and is written in an accessible that requires minimal background knowledge. It provides the reader with a sense of unity in the subject's development and fully explains the essential concepts, outlining the logic behind the steps to familiarize the reader with the theories. All the important topics are covered, from linear spaces and topological vector spaces, to the main theorems such as the Major Banach Space Theorems and the Hahn-Banach Theorem. Numerous exercises of ranging difficulty are included throughout the text to enhance the reader's learning.
