in the space. As real or complex-valued functions are often called functionals,
the term functional analysis came to be used for this topic.
We now briefly outline the contents of the book. In Chapter 1 we present
(for reference and to establish our notation) various basic ideas that will be
required throughout the book. Specifically, we discuss the results from elemen-
tary linear algebra and the basic theory of metric spaces which will be required
in later chapters. We also give a brief summary of the elements of the theory
of Lebesgue measure and integration. Of the three topics discussed in this in-
troductory chapter, Lebesgue integration is undoubtedly the most technically
difficult and the one which the prospective reader is leastLinear

tered before. Unfortunately, many of the most important spaces which arise in
functional analysis are spaces of integrable functions, and it is necessary to use
the Lebesgue integral to overcome various drawbacks of the elementary Rie-
mann integral, commonly taught in real analysis courses. The reader who has
not met Lebesgue integration before can still read this book by accepting that
an integration process exists which coincides with the Riemann integral when
this is defined, but extends to a larger class of functions, and which has the
properties described in Section 1.3.
In Chapter 2 we discuss the fundamental concept of functional analysis, the
normed vector space. As mentioned above, a norm on a vector space is simply an
extension of the idea of the length of a vector to a rather more abstract setting.
