Synopsis

This book presents a twenty-first century approach to classical polynomial and rational approximation theory. The reader will find a strikingly original treatment of the subject, completely unlike any of the existing literature on approximation theory, with a rich set of both computational and theoretical exercises for the classroom. There are many original features that set this book apart: the emphasis is on topics close to numerical algorithms; every idea is illustrated with Chebfun examples; each chapter has an accompanying Matlab file for the reader to download; the text focuses on theorems and methods for analytic functions; original sources are cited rather than textbooks, and each item in the bibliography is accompanied by an editorial comment. This textbook is ideal for advanced undergraduates and graduate students across all of applied mathematics.
