    This is an extended version of the author's ``An introduction to infinite-dimensional analysis'' published by Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa (2001; Zbl 1065.46001). In the paragraphs 1--8 there are only minor changes, the paragraphes 9--11 have completely been reworked. They cover now \(L^2\)-spaces with respect to Gaussian measures, Sobolev spaces for a Gaussian measure with sections on Wiener chaos, Dirichlet forms, Poincaré and log-Sobolev inequalities as well as hypercontractivity. The final paragraph 11 is on gradient systems and treats more recent developments. A well written textbook (even an introductory research monograph), suitable for teaching a graduate course.
