Linear Operator Theory in Engineering and Science Summary

Linear Operator Theory in Engineering and Science by Arch W. Naylor

A unique introduction to the theory of linear operators on Hilbert space. The author presents the basic facts of functional analysis in a form suitable for engineers, scientists, and applied mathematicians. Although the Definition-Theorem-Proof format of mathematics is used, careful attention is given to motivation of the material covered and many illustrative examples are presented.
