| Dec 11, 2019 at 15:52 | comment | added | Timothy Chow | This answer also demonstrates that there is a difference between asking what mathematicians have contributed and what functional analysis has contributed. (Unless one insists on defining "functional analysis" as something created solely by mathematicians.) | |
