Course co-ordinator(s): Dr Lyonell Boulton (Edinburgh).
Aims:
In this course we examine classical results about linear operators on Hilbert spaces. We begin by studying the concepts of projection and dimension on separable Hilbert spaces. We then study the concept of compact operators which is fundamental in functional analysis. We subsequently focus on the spectral theorem for compact selfadjoint operators. Then we study the solution of Fredholm and Volterra integral equations.
