The relationship is useful in applications: an integral equation can encode a boundary-value problem, while a finite-dimensional approximation produces a linear system. Understanding invertible linear maps, the spectrum and perturbations helps explain when such approximations are meaningful and when small errors can have large consequences.Identity and discipline: en-exact-sciences.tau.ac.il/math/in-memoriam
