This book introduces the reader to the basic principles of functional analysis and to areas of Banach space theory that are close to nonlinear analysis and topology.In the first part, the book develops the classical theory, including weak topologies, locally convex spaces, Schauder bases, and compact operator theory. The presentation is self-contained, including many folklore results, and the proofs are accessible to students with the usual background in real analysis and topology. The second part covers topics in convexity and smoothness, finite representability, variational principles, homeomorphisms, weak compactness and more. Several results are published here for the first time in a monograph. The text can be used in graduate courses or for independent study. It includes a large number of exercises of different levels of difficulty, accompanied by hints. The book is also directed to young researchers in functional analysis and can serve as a reference book.This is an introduction to basic principles of functional analysis and to areas of Banach space theory close to nonlinear analysis and topology. The first part, which develops the classical theory, is self-contained and features a large number of exercises containing many important results. The second part covers selected topics in the theory of Banach spaces related to smoothness and topology. It is intended to be an introduction to and complement of existing books on the subject. This text may be used in graduate courses, for independent study, or as a reference book.
