A First Course in Spectral Theory Renate Stohler Simple factual information is accompaniedThe central topic of this book is the spectral theory of bounded and unbounded self adjoint operators on Hilbert spaces. After introducing the necessary prerequisites in measure theory and functional analysis, the exposition focuses on operator theory and especially the structure of self adjoint operators. These can be viewed as infinite dimensional analogues of Hermitian matrices; the infinite dimensional setting leads to a richer theory which goes
