✦ Synopsis

The book deals with an area that is not the subject of widespread research interest. At no point did the book surprise me, nor did it offer new perspectives. Being conceived as lecture notes (with exercises) it was probably not intended to have these effects. It could be of interest to students and researchers in approximation theory, systems theory, or numerical analysis (all the methods are illustrated with numerical examples). Certainly not all the possibilities have been explored and the methods proposed may be considered as samples of the potential applicability of orthogonal function systems in this area. It is unfortunate, however, that more exciting modern orthogonal systems such as wavelets are not even mentioned.
