To establish solution strategies for various inverse problems in modern data sciences such as signal processing, image processing, pattern recognition, optimization and machine learning, the unified mathematical perspective built through Functional Analysis will certainly serve as helpful guide. Starting from definitions of convergence of real number sequence and vector space which serve as prerequisites of Functional Analysis, this lecture surveys its central ideas, e.g., in Metric space, Normed space, Inner product space, Banach space and Hilbert space, together with their applications to typical inverse problems.
Through the lectures, the students will be able to:
1) understand mathematical meanings of spaces, convergences and operators and apply these to real world problems.
2) build mathematical perspectives to grasp many real world inverse problems in unified ways.

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
