We introduce the dual space of a Banach space X, which is the collection of all bounded linear maps from X into the field K (‘linear functionals’), equipped with the corresponding operator norm. We prove the Riesz Representation Theorem, which shows that in a Hilbert space, any linear functional can be written as the inner product with some element of the Hilbert space.
