Professor Retherford's aim in this book is to provide the reader with a virtually self-contained treatment of Hilbert space theory, leading to an elementary proof of the Lidskij trace theorem. He assumes the reader is familiar with only linear algebra and advanced calculus, and …
"Some knowledge of elementary functional analysis and a familiarity with the basics of operator theory are all that is required. While this problem solving approach to the study of Hilbert space operators is primarily aimed at graduate students, it will benefit researchers and w…
