Introduction to Spectral Theory : With Applications to Schrodinger Operators

This work aims to introduce students to active areas of research in mathematical physics in a rather direct way, thus minimizing the use of abstract mathematics. The book's main features are geometric methods in spectral analysis, semi-classical analysis of resonance and other topics.
