We introduce the property of completeness and prove some abstract results about complete normed spaces (Banach spaces). We then give a number of examples of Banach spaces: l^p, L^p, and spaces of continuous functions. We then discuss convergence of series in Banach spaces and end the chapter with a proof of the Contraction Mapping Theorem.
