New York: Oxford University Press, 1966. NOT a library discard. Near Fine condition. Sharp corners. NO owner's name or bookplate. Pages are crisp, clean and unmarked. NO underlining. NO highlighting. NO margin notes. A volume from the University Texts in the Mathematical Sciences series. Six major sections: Banach Spaces; Linear Transformations; Hilbert Space; Spectral Theory of Linear Transformations; The Structure of Self-Adjoint Transformations; Commutative Banach Algebras. Bibliography. Index. Bound in the original gray cloth, stamped in black and red. From the preface: "The present book is the translation of an Italian manuscript containing the lectures which the author delivered during 1953-54 while he served as Visiting Professor at the University of Rome under the Fulbright Act. An appropriate alternative title might well be BANACH SPACES AND ALGEBRAS. Indeed, in this restricted number of pages will be found all the classic material which the reader will need in order to make forays on more special theories. For example, in the chapters on Banach spaces and linear transformation theory one will find the Hahn-Banach theorem, the inverse boundedness theorem, and the uniform boundedness principle; also the standard material on reflexivity, adjoint transformations, projections, reducibility, and even a formulation of the mean-ergodic theorem. The chapter on Hilbert space presents all the classic facts on linear functionals and orthonormal sets as well as the preliminary theory of self-adjoint transformations (bounded or not) and resolutions of the identityÂ Although there are other works which cover the material of this volume, most of these display encyclopedic tendencies which may well be discouraging to the uninitiated or to the peripheral reader. The present book is presented frankly with the hope of attracting students who at the outset have not committed themselves to dedicating their major energies to the various complex proliferations of this material. On the other hand, they will find, should they subsequently wish to do so, that they are in a position to turn effectively and rapidly in any current direction of research. To borrow a phrase from the workshop -- this is a kernel and not a hull presentation. A partial list of other works in the field will be found at the end of the book. Those interested in bibliographies may consult these titles.". Second printing of the 1962 original. Hardcover. Near Fine condition/No dust jacket. 8vo. (xii), 158pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

Store description

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985.

Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole.

Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
