In linear algebra the spectral theorem describes a linear operator in terms of its eigenvectors and eigenvalues, that is, its spectrum.The extension to infinite dimension includes differential and integral operators. The course will consider the finite dimensional case rigorously and explore analogous infinite dimensional cases through their motivating examples.
Prereq: Mathematics 203 and Mathematics 211.
