This book is based on lectures given at "Mekhmat", the Department of
Mechanics and Mathematics at Moscow State University, one of the top
mathematical departments worldwide, with a rich tradition of teaching
functional analysis.
Featuring an advanced course on real and functional analysis, the book
presents not only core material traditionally included in university
courses of different levels, but also a survey of the most important
results of a more subtle nature, which cannot be considered basic but
which are useful for applications. Further, it includes several hundred
exercises of varying difficulty with tips and references.
The book is intended for graduate and PhD students studying real and
functional analysis as well as mathematicians and physicists whose
research is related to functional analysis.
