The book is suitable for a one-year course at the advanced undergraduate level.by omitting certain chapters,a one semester course can be based on it.for instance,if the students already have a good knowledge of partial differentiation and the elementary topology of e',then substantial parts of chapters 4,5,7,and 8 can be covered in a semester.some knowledge of linear algebra is presumed.however,results from linear algebra are reviewed as needed (in some cases without proof.
