Re: How to motivate a student of functional analysis

Dear Adrei, May I suggest you to look at the monograph "Lectures and Exercises on Functional Analysis" by A. Ya. Helemskii published by AMS in 2006, where, I'm sure, you'll find a lot of good motivations for students interested in functional analysis to study category theory. Good Luck and best regards, Yefim _______________________________________________________________________ Prof. Yefim Katsov Department of Mathematics & CS Hanover College Hanover, IN 47243-0890, USA telephones: office (812) 866-6119; home (812) 866-4312; fax (812) 866-7229
