Stefan Banach (1892-1945) was a Polish mathematician widely regarded as one of the most significant and influential figures in 20th-century mathematics. He was the founder of modern functional analysis. His seminal monograph "Théorie des opérations linéaires" (Theory of Linear Operations) stands as the inaugural monograph on the general theory of functional analysis. It was published in Polish in 1931 under the title "Teoria Operacji" and subsequently in French in 1932. The present work is a reprint of the 1932 edition with Corrections of Errata and with an added note on Haar Measure, which originally appeared as an Addendum to "Théorie de l'Intégrale" by S. Saks.
