Описание: Classical analysis is the backbone of many branches of applied mathematics. The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive introduction to the two topics in classical analysis mentioned in the title. It is addressed to graduate mathematicians, physicists, and engineers, and is intended both as a basis for instructional courses and as a reference tool in research work. It is based, in part, on courses taught at the University of Maryland.
