DESCRIPTION:
Jointly with Duistermaat, he has written four books: besides the present one, one on Lie groups, and another on multidimensional real analysis. During the last five years he was honored with a special professorship at Utrecht University endowed by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.
This textbook is an application-oriented introduction to the theory of distributions, a powerful tool used in mathematical analysis. The treatment emphasizes applications that relate distributions to linear partial differential equations and Fourier analysis problems found in mechanics, optics, quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, and signal analysis. The book is motivated by many exercises, hints, and solutions that guide the reader along a path requiring only a minimal mathematical background.
Five Stars Thomas R. Schulte Great book and excellent service!
The book succeeds both as a basic and as a rich account of results in distribution theory.” (Michael Taylor, SIAM Review, Vol. A reader who tries to solve them will re-examine many aspects of analysis of several variables in the light of the theory of distributions. Additionally he will have been exposed to a great deal of serious mathematics from, if you’ll pardon the pun, all over the spectrum.”BLL The Basic Library List Committee suggests that undergraduate mathematics libraries consider this book for acquisition.
