VAL McDERMID'Dazzling . . . uncommonly romantic, irreverent and at times laugh out loud funny. A delight.' SHIRLEY MANSON'Beautiful . . . send it to every friend you've ever loved.' CHARLOTTE CHURCH

Functional Analysis in Applied Mathematics and Engineering focuses on material useful to control specialists working in the disciplines of electrical, mechanical, and aerospace engineering. It begins with a rigorous introduction to the abstract basic function spaces and operators, then studies problems in the Hilbert space setting. The author proves the spectral theorem for unbounded operators with compact inverses and goes on to present the abstract evolution semigroup theory for time-dependent linear partial differential operators. This structure establishes a firm foundation for the more advanced topics discussed later in the text.
