Functional Analysis

A branch of mathematics concerned with infinite dimensional spaces (mainly Function Spaces) and mappings between them. The Spaces may be of different, and possibly Infinite, Dimensions. These mappings are called Operators or, if the range is on the Real line or in the Complex Plane, Functionals.
