Interpolation and approximation offer important applications in computer science and elsewhere. This intermediate-level survey by a noted authority abounds in useful examples of related subjects and has been praised for its level of clarity and reliance on well-presented and useful examples.
A brief introductory chapter presents helpful definitions and theorems. Subsequent chapters explore interpolation, remainder theory, convergence theorems for interpolatory processes, and some problems of infinite interpolation. Additional topics include uniform and best approximation, least square approximation, Hilbert space, orthogonal polynomials, the theory of closure and completeness, expansion theorems for orthogonal functions, degree of approximation, and approximation of linear functionals. A familiarity with real and complex variable theory and linear algebra is assumed. 1963 edition.

Store Description

Welcome to the Solr Books & Books4Cause AbeBooks page! We are a social venture dedicated to supporting social causes, education, and community through a business model. Books4Cause doesn?t raise funds or rely on government grants. All of our funding comes from selling a portion of used books donated to us. Our main goal is to recirculate books back into the hands of people who will read and treasure them. We support both local and global initiatives. Through partnering with the African Library Project, we have built over 120 libraries in nursery schools, elementary schools, high schools, and universities across 18 countries in Africa. Our pop-up free library program in Chicago distributes free books in under-served neighborhoods throughout the city, giving necessary resources to children, adults, and families who otherwise may not have been able to access them.
