It can serve as an introduction to the topics covered, including extrapolation methods, Padé approximation, orthogonal polynomials, continued fractions, Lanczos-type methods, etc.; it also provides in depth discussion of the many links between these subjects. A highlight of this book is the presentation of the human side of the fields discussed via personal testimonies from contemporary researchers, their anecdotes, and their exclusive remembrances of some of the ?actors.? This book shows how research in this domain started and evolved. Biographies of other scholars encountered have also been included. An important branch of mathematics is described in its historical context, opening the way to new developments. After a mathematical introduction, the book contains a precise description of the mathematical landscape of these fields spanning from the 19th century to the first part of the 20th. After an analysis of the works produced after that period (in particular those of Richardson, Aitken, Shanks, Wynn, and others), the most recent developments and applications are reviewed. Claude Brezinski is professor emeritus of mathematics at the University of Lille (France), where he has been head of the Laboratory of Numerical Analysis and Optimization for 30 years. He was the advisor of 60 doctoral students. Prof. Brezinski is founder and Editor-in-Chief of the Numerical Algorithms journal and author of over 240 papers and several books. Michela Redivo-Zaglia is professor of numerical analysis at the University of Padua (Italy). She has been vice-director of the Department of Mathematics for three years. She is a member of the Editorial Board of several journals. She published software packages, 7 scientific and didactic books, and about 80 papers. She was the organizer of many international congresses, and an invited speaker at several ones. 606 $aExtrapolation 615 0$aExtrapolation. 676 $a511.42 700 $aBrezinski$b Claude$f1941-$013908 702 $aRedivo Zaglia$b Michela 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996418190303316 996 $aExtrapolation and rational approximation$91982540 997 $aUNISA LEADER 02874nas 2200805-a 450 001 996199134603316 005 20200911054449.7 011 $a1712-6576 035 $a(OCoLC)61165553 035 $a(CKB)1000000000222740 035 $a(CONSER)--2006204022 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2214934-X 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000222740 100 $a20050728a20059999 o-- a 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aAvian conservation and ecology =$eÉcologie et conservation des oiseaux 210 $aWaterloo, ON $cResilience Alliance Publications$d2005- 210 3 $aWolfville, Nova Scotia, Canada $cResilience Alliance 300 $aRefereed/Peer-reviewed 300 $aTitle from title screen (publisher's Web site, viewed July 28, 2005). 311 $a1712-6568 330 $aAvian Conservation and Ecology (ACE) is an open-access, fully electronic scientific journal, sponsored by the Society of Canadian Ornithologists and Bird Studies Canada. ACE focuses on the conservation, ecology, and status of birds. It is intended to complement other publications, such as traditional ornithological journals, conservation publications, general ecology journals and those focused on specific groups of birds. 517 1 $aACE 517 1 $aECO 517 1 $aACE-ECO 517 3 $aÉcologie et conservation des oiseaux 531 $aAVIAN CONSERV ECOL 531 $aAVIAN CONSERVATION & ECOLOGY 531 $aAVIAN CONSERV.
