Final assignment
Write an essay that is around 3 pages (12 point font, 1 inch margin) on a topic of your choice in Functional Analysis.
The essay should have some mathematical and historical content.
The Mathematical content can just be explaining the idea of a proof (in a mathematically precise way of course).
*Please check your topic with me before beginning*
