This book at the beginning graduate level will help students with primary interests elsewhere to acquire a facility with tools of a functional analytic flavor, say in harmonic analysis, numerical analysis, stochastic processes, or in physics.

An introduction of Hilbert modules over function algebras. The theory of Hilbert modules is presented as combination of commutative algebra, complex geometry and Hilbert spaces and its applications to the theory of n-tuples of commuting operators.

These notes are based on lectures given as part of a mathematics MSc program. The approach here is to discuss topological vector spaces - with normed spaces considered as special cases. Contents: Topological Spaces; Nets; Product Spaces; etc.
