Course Description / Material Covered. Selected topics from the textbook.

Collaboration. By all means you are encouraged to always be discussing Functional Analysis with whoever will listen to you. However, the work you submit must be your own. According to the USC Student Handbook code of student academic responsibility, the first law of academic life is intellectual honesty. This is expected of all of you. If you ever have any uncertainty about the ground rules, ask Prof. Girardi for clarification.

Homework. There will be many problems assigned, of which you are to do a reasonable subset of your choice.

• Write on only one side of the paper.
• Write the problem number (e.g. Problem 4.8.17) on your paper.
• Each problem is to be handed in separately. Staple the pages together if there is more than one page.
• Each problem will receive a mark of: S (satisfactory) or U (unsatisfactory).
• No late homework accepted. Please turn in your problems as you finish them.

Evaluation Policy. (subject to change) Your goal is to gain a working knowledge of the material; you have some personal freedom in this pursuit. Your grade will be determined by the number n of Satisfactory homework problems you turn in. The baseline score is indicated below (these thresholds may be lowered later if appropriate).
