Operator theory is a diverse area of mathematics which derives its impetus and motivation from several sources. The intention of this book is to discuss certain advanced topics in operator theory and to provide the necessary background for them assuming only the standard senior-first year graduate courses in general topology, measure theory, and algebra. This new edition will appeal to a new generation of students seeking an introduction to operator theory.
Second edition of classic book in its field Should appeal to a new generation of readers Source notes, which suggest additional reading along with comments, are included at the end of each chapter Contains a large number of problems of varying difficulty, following each chapter Assumes only the standard familiarity with general topology, measure theory, and algebra
