Review text

This small book provides an elementary course of lectures on classical nonlinear analysis. It contains 5 chapters covering all fundamental parts of this intensively developing part in functional analysis: ``Differential Calculus on Normed Linear Spaces (Fréchet first and higher derivatives, implicit and inverse function theorems, Sard's theorem, extrema of real valued functions), ``Brouwer Degree (definition and basic properties, Brouwer and Borsuk fixed point theorems, Krasnosel'skiĭ's genus), ``The Leray-Schauder Degree (definition and basic properties, fixed point theorems, the index, applications to differential equations), ``Bifurcation Theory (Lyapunov-Schmidt method, Morse's lemma, Krasnosel'skiĭ's and Rabinowitz' theorems, variational bifurcation theorems), ``Critical Points of Functionals (minimization and saddle points of functionals, Palais-Smale conditions, mountain pass theorem, multiplicity of critical points, critical points with constraints). The book also contains several exercises that present additional results and applications, in particular, to nonlinear partial differential equations. The book is written in a simple and clear manner; for its reading only some acquaintance with elementary calculus is needed. Hence it will be useful to everybody who wants to study the beginnings of nonlinear analysis. It may also serve teachers and lecturers as an example of a well organized course in nonlinear analysis.
