TI - Fundamentals of Approximation Theory SN - 9788173198564 U1 - 515.57 PY - 2000/// CY - Newdelhi PB - Narosa KW - Approximation theory KW - Numerical analysis KW - Mathematical analysis N2 - This book presents a systematic and in-depth treatment of some basic topics in approximation theory in an effort to emphasize the rich connections of different branches of analysis with this subject. It contains a good blend of both the classical as well as abstract topics in the domain and their interconnections as appropriate. The approach is from the very concrete to more and more abstract levels. In order to provide a historical perspective on the results, a section on notes is appended to each chapter with an extensive bibliography. Researchers will find several references to recent developments. Problems of varying degree of difficulty accompany each chapter. Some of these problems complement certain results from the text. The others, more challenging, are drawn from the contemporary research articles. Ample hints are provided for such problems. Primarily aimed at graduate students and teachers of mathematics, researchers interested in an introduction to the specific results or techniques of approximation theory will find this book very attractive ER -
