Description
A Concise Introduction to Functional Analysis is designed to serve a one-semester introductory graduate (or advanced undergraduate) course in functional analysis.
The text is pragmatically structured so that each unit corresponds to one class, with the hope of being helpful for both students and teachers. It is expected that this text will provide students with a strong general understanding of the subject, and that they should feel well equipped to take on the more advanced texts and courses covering topics not treated here.
Features
? Numerous examples and counterexamples to illustrate such abstract concepts
? Over 430 exercises, with partial solutions included in the book itself
? Minimal pre-requisites beyond linear algebra and general topology.

Person
Cesar R. de Oliveira earned his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Sao Paulo in 1987. He has been a visiting professor at the Universita degli Studi di Milano (1991-1992) and the University of British Columbia (2008-2009). He is currently a Full Professor in the Federal University of Sao Carlos.
His research lies in the field of Mathematical Physics, with publications in both mathematics and physics journals. He has supervised twelve Ph.D. students, and his main areas of interest include Schroedinger and Dirac operators, the Aharonov-Bohm effect, mathematical models of graphene, quantum (in)stability, and dynamical localization.
He also enjoys writing textbooks and has authored four of them. In 2000, he published an introductory mechanics book (in Portuguese, with animations and interactive content on CD-ROM) through his University. In 2010, he released a graduate-level book on functional analysis (in Portuguese) with IMPA (Rio de Janeiro). In 2009, the book Spectral Theory and Quantum Dynamics was published by Birkhaeuser (Switzerland). Most recently, in 2023, he co-authored Spectral Measures and Dynamics: Typical Behaviors with M. Aloisio and S. Carvalho.
