1	The History of Approximation Theory: From Euler to Bernstein more books like this by Karl-Georg Steffens, George A Anastassiou (Consultant editor) add to wishlist The problem of approximating a given quantity is one of the oldest challenges faced by mathematicians. Its increasing importance in contemporary mathematics has created an entirely new area known as Approximation Theory.
