Rezensionen

From the reviews: G.M. Phillips Interpolation and Approximation by Polynomials "A very nicely written textbook to learn about polynomial interpolation and approximation." -ZENTRALBLATT MATH "This book contains selected topics from approximation theory. The author discusses one of 'the most' classic part of approximation theory, the interpolation theory and two related fields ... . The selection of the areas, the lot of worked examples, the exercises and problems at the end of each section and the algorithms included and detailed ... makes this book perfect for everyone's approximation book." (Béla Nagy, Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum, Vol. 69, 2003) "This is a very nicely written textbook to learn about polynomial interpolation and approximation. ... Throughout the book nice sets of 'Problems' are placed ... ." (Marcel G. de Bruin, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1023, 2003)
