I find Bachman and Narici's book to be an excellent introduction to functional analysis for students who have had a graduate level linear algebra course and some introduction to measure theory. I completed a course in real analysis last year, and I wish I had immediately begun using this book. It seems to me to be somewhat less difficult than the real analysis course, based on Rudin, while reinforcing and building on topics that were introduced in real analysis and other masters level courses. Bachman and Narici's book seems to me to be a bit easier to follow than other functional analysis books, and to bridge the gap between what I already know and more difficult treatments of functional analysis. The book is excellent for self-study and would probably also serve well for a course.

This book is perhaps the most organized in this field. It is very well written, the presentation really helps build the concepts elegantly and methodically. It is a must have for any one who is interested in learning functional analysis. Some advanced users may find that the book builds a bit slow but it will really help for those who are new in the field.

I bought three of these books and got only 1. I live in Brazil. When the other two will arrive?

Excelent book for graduate level engeneering or science students interested in applied or pure advance mathematics .This book is suitable for advance senior undergraduate students as well
