Progress in functional analysis

I tried to have chapter IV (Main theorems about operators on banach spaces) of Werner’s “Functional Analysis” done by the end of February, but I just managed to do until Chapter III (Theorem of Hahn-Banach and its consequences). It’s not so easy to follow the content without repeating the former theorems and results, but at least I regain the feeling for the topics. Karin will have functional analysis as her second exam topic, and even she told me about having forgotten most of the contents already. So, I’m not really badly off.

I even have to do some more, working through the script of Prof. Cigler and having a look at the basics of time-frequency analysis. In April, I want to be that far that I’ll only have to look into my books I bought from HGFei in January.

I also want to see if Rudin’s “Functional Analysis” could be of worth for me. I already possess his “Real and Complex Analysis” in a German translation, which I’ll need if I really take measure theory for my master exam.
