    This document is a set of lecture notes on distributions and operators. It is divided into four parts, with the first part covering distribution spaces and function spaces. The second part discusses extensions of distributions and applications such as Fourier transforms and differential operators. The third part is on pseudodifferential methods, including operators on manifolds. The fourth part is a supplement on unbounded operators in Hilbert spaces, including families of extensions and semigroups of operators. There is also an appendix on topological vector spaces.
