Sumario:Traces the history of approximation theory from Leonhard Euler's cartographic investigations at the end of the 18th century to the early 20th century contributions of Sergei Bernstein in defining a branch of function theory. Demonstrating technical control of the underlying mathematics, it focuses on the results for the development of the theory.
