Reviews
From the reviews:
“The current book presents a compilation of lecture notes delivered by Professor Johan de Villiers at Stellen Bosch University, South Africa. This hardbound treatise titled Mathematics of approximation is a reader-friendly volume spanning over 425 pages. … The content is self-contained and can be used for both classroom teaching and self-study. … The theory is illustrated by a number of solved examples. This is one of the many graces of the book.” (Sarjoo Prasad Yadav, Mathematical Reviews, February, 2013)Authors and Affiliations
