This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In addition to coverage of univariate interpolation and approximation, the text includes material on multivariate interpolation and multivariate numerical integration, a generalization of the Bernstein polynomials that has not previously appeared in book form, and a greater coverage of Peano kernel theory than is found in most textbooks. There are many worked examples and each section ends with a number of carefully selected problems that extend the student's understanding of the text. The author is well known for his clarity of writing and his many contributions as a researcher in approximation theory. 332 pp. Englisch.

About this title

Synopsis

This book is aimed at advanced undergraduate students and graduate students and is intended for a course in numerical analysis and approximation theory. The author covers topics such as multivariate interpolation, Peano kernel theory, and the applications of q-integers to approximation theory, the latter of which have never been fully examined in book form before.
