Polynomials and Polynomial Inequalities
Series: Graduate Texts in Mathematics, Vol. 161

Polynomials pervade mathematics, virtually every branch of mathematics from algebraic

number theory and algebraic geometry to applied analysis and computer science, has a
corpus of theory arising from polynomials. The material explored in this book primarily
concerns polynomials as they arise in analysis; it focuses on polynomials and rational
functions of a single variable. The book is self-contained and assumes at most a senior-
undergraduate familiarity with real and complex analysis.
 
After an introduction to the geometry of polynomials and a discussion of refinements
of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, the book turns to a consideration of various
special polynomials. Chebyshev and Descartes systems are then introduced, and Müntz
systems and rational systems are examined in detail. Subsequent chapters discuss
denseness questions and the inequalities satisfied by polynomials and rational functions.
Appendices on algorithms and computational concerns, on the interpolation theorem,
and on orthogonality and irrationality conclude the book.
