In this book the renowned Russian mathematician Georgi E. Shilov brings his unique perspective to real and complex analysis, an area of perennial interest in mathematics. Although there are many books available on the topic, the present work is specially designed for undergraduates in mathematics, science and engineering. A high level of mathematical sophistication is not required.The book begins with a systematic study of real numbers, understood to be a set of objects satisfying c...

In this volume in his exceptional series of translations of Russian mathematical texts, Richard Silverman has taken Shilov's course in linear algebra and has made it even more accessible and more useful for English language readers.Georgi E. Shilov, Professor of Mathematics at the Moscow State University, covers determinants, linear spaces, systems of linear equations, linear functions of a vector argument, coordinate transformations, the canonical form of the matrix of a linear ope...

In this introductory work on mathematical analysis, the noted mathematician Georgi E. Shilov begins with an extensive and important chapter on the basic structures of mathematical analysis: linear spaces, metric spaces, normed linear spaces, Hilbert spaces, and normed algebras. The standard models for all these spaces are sets of functions (hence the term "functional analysis"), rather than sets of points in a finite-dimensional space.Chapter 2 is devoted to differential equations, ...

This introduction to linear algebra and functional analysis offers a clear expository treatment, viewing algebra, geometry, and analysis as parts of an integrated whole rather than separate subjects. All abstract ideas receive a high degree of motivation, and numerous examples illustrate many different fields of mathematics. Abundant problems include hints or answers.
