Analysis and
Differential Equations On Separable Banach Spaces
(New Seminar Series)
3 TO 4 PM, ROOM 213, ASB-B.
About the series:
This series will discuss a new constructive approach
to analysis on
separable Banach spaces.
The key idea is to first show that any separable Banach space
can be continuously embedded in a separable Hilbert
space.
Organizers: Tepper Gill, Dan
Williams, Tim Myers.
