| Sep 2, 2017 at 22:36 | comment | added | Sabrina Gemsa | If you can read in German, I highly recommend Dirk Werner's "Funktionalanalysis". There are only a few pages about $C^*$algebras, and is mainly about basic functional analysis stuff (unbounded operators as well), but nevertheless, it seems to be good for you. and it is didactically awesome | |
| Sep 2, 2017 at 22:31 | comment | added | Caleb Eckhardt | Echoing Christian Remling, I doubt there is a book that fits all of these criteria. But I highly recommend Gert Pedersen's "Analysis Now." He treats the basic results of FA (but not in a 'sketch-y' manner) and gives an excellent treatment of spectral theory for bounded and unbounded operators and an introduction to the operator algebra theory one uses in quantum mechanics. You would be required to work out many ideas for yourself (via exercises and sometimes terse proofs)--but I found that pretty fun. One could read chapters 3-5 and refer to 1 & 2 as needed to not get bogged down in FA | |

| Sep 2, 2017 at 18:14 | comment | added | Bence Racskó | @ChristianRemling Well, recs don't need to strictly adhere to such level of specificism, but I figured this'd help establish what I am looking for. Didactic resource on spectral theory that doesn't assume a wide-level knowledge of functional analysis. I'll be checking out the Conway book for sure. | |
| Sep 2, 2017 at 18:00 | comment | added | Christian Remling | These are very specific requests, so probably you'll have to write this yourself if you want a perfect fit. Maybe Conway's book comes close. | |
