Functional calculus: Usage, Informal motivation & Overview

In mathematics, a functional calculus is a theory allowing one to apply mathematical functions to mathematical operators. It is now a branch (more accurately, several related areas) of the field of functional analysis, connected with spectral theory. Historically, the term was synonymous with the calculus of variations; the latter term remains in…
