Functional Analysis in Theoretical Mechanics
An introduction to modern concepts in functional analysis and linear operator theory, with emphasis on their application to problems in theoretical mechanics; topological and metric spaces, norm linear spaces, theory of linear operators on Hilbert spaces, applications to boundary value problems in elasticity and dynamical systems. Computational Science, Engineering, and Mathematics 386M and Engineering Mechanics 386M may not both be counted. Three lecture hours a week for one semester.
