An invitation to operator theory

This book offers an exposition of the theory of linear operators on Banach spaces and Banach lattices using their topological and order structures and properties. The presentation encompasses recent advances in operator theory and brings together results from throughout the literature. Some 600 exercises are included. Prerequisites include standard introductory courses in real analysis, general topology, measure theory, and functional analysis. The text is suitable for graduate or advanced courses in operator theory, real analysis, integration theory, measure theory, function theory, and functional analysis.
