From the creator

MIT 18.102 Introduction to Functional Analysis, Spring 2021 Instructor: Dr. Casey Rodriguez View the complete course: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-102-introduction-to-functional-analysis-spring-2021/ YouTube Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sfaHVFWBU8&list=PLUl4u3cNGP63micsJp_--fRAjZXPrQzW_&index=22 We prove the Fredholm Alternative, the Maximum Principle and the Spectral Theorem for self-adjoint compact operators. The final result is analogous to the statement that every Hermitian matrix is diagonalizable.
