The book starts with a rapid introduction to the standard preparatory material in basic operator theory taught at the first year graduate level course. To quickly get to the main points of the proof of the theorem, several topics that aid in the understanding of the proof are included in the appendices. These topics serve the purpose of providing familiarity with a large variety of tools used in the proof and adds to the flexibility of reading them independently. Closely follows the original exposition of the Brown-Douglas-Fillmore theorem. Includes a number of topics related to the broad theme of the subject as appendices. The epilogue features some recent developments and lists a few open problems on operator theory. Each chapter is followed by several exercises to test the understanding of the readers UR - https://api.pageplace.de/preview/DT0400.9781009032452_A45552612/preview-9781009032452_A45552612.pdf UR - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57284684-notes-on-the-brown-douglas-fillmore-theorem#CommunityReviews ER -
