A pioneer of many modern developments in approximation theory, Achieser begins this text with approximation problems in linear normalized spaces and the ideas of P. L. Tchebysheff. He then examines the elements of harmonic analysis, integral transcendental functions of the exponential type, Wiener's theorem on approximation, more. Includes an extensive section of problems and applications.

Chebyshev, S. N. Bernstein. Supplementary problems and theorems. 1963 edition.
Theoretical Numerical Analysis: An Introduction to Advanced Techniques by Peter Linz Concise text focuses on fundamentals of functional analysis and approximation theory, the major results of theoretical numerical analysis; and specific topics that illustrate the power and usefulness of theoretical analysis. 1979 edition.
