The subject of polynomial approximation has a long history and a vast literature. This book deals with aspects of the subject with close connections to potential theory, although tools from throughout analysis are used. For a signed Borel measure \(\sigma\) on a bounded Jordan arc \(L\), define the discrepancy of \(\sigma\) by \(D[\sigma]= \sup_J|\sigma(J)|\), where the supremum is taken over all subarcs \(J\subset L\). For a set \(B\) and a polynomial \(p\) of degree \(n\), the zero counting measure of \(p\) is defined by \(\nu_p(B)= {\text{number of zeros of }p \text{ in }B\over n}.\) Let \(\mu_E\) denote the equilibrium measure of a set \(E\). There are several themes that recur throughout the book. One of these involves bounds on the discrepancy \(D[\mu_L-\nu_p]\), where \(L\) is a bounded Jordan arc or curve and \(p\) is a polynomial. Another are conditions under which either \(\{\nu_{p_n}\}\) or a subsequence converges (possibly weakly) to \(\mu_E\), where \(E\) is a set and \(\{p_n\}\) converges to a given function \(f\) on \(E\). Results under these themes give information about the distribution of the zeros of a sequence of polynomials that approximates a given function on a given set. These lead to results on polynomials of best approximation to a given function \(f\), with the aim of finding a best bound on \(\|f-p^*_n\|_E\), where \(p^*_n\) is a polynomial of best approximation of degree not exceeding \(n\). Most of the best known theorems dealing with polynomial approximation are given, either directly or as by-products of more general results. Substantial applications are given for the distribution of Fekete points, Chebyshev approximation, \(L^p\)-approximation, and zeros of orthogonal polynomials, among other topics. This book is probably not one for casual reading or easy reference, except for the expert in the area, as most of the results and their proofs are highly technical, with much notation. A seven page listing of notation at the end of the book is very useful in keeping track of the notation. Following a first chapter that is a recap of basic potential theory and other fundamental topics to be used later, the book proceeds to give substantial results on polynomial approximation, using tools from many aspects of analysis. The chapter headings, given below, indicate the nature of some of the kinds of results given. For each chapter, the authors devote an introductory section giving an overview of the results to be presented, as well as a final section containing historical comments. In addition, there are four almost chapter-length appendices, and a bibliography consisting of 184 works. Although the results contained in the book are due to many different authors, many of the more recent results and proofs, together with the order of presentation, are due to the authors. The Chapter headings are as follows: Chapter 1. Auxiliary Facts; Chapter 2. Zero Distribution of Polynomials; Chapter 3. Discrepancy Theorems via Two-Sided Bounds for Potentials; Chapter 4. Discrepancy Theorems via One-Sided Bounds for Potentials; Chapter 5. Discrepancy Theorems via Energy Integrals; Chapter 6. Applications of Jentzsch-Szegö and Erdős-Turán Type Theorems; Chapter 7. Applications of Discrepancy Theorems; Chapter 8. Special Topics; Appendix A. Conformally Invariant Characteristics of Curve Families; Appendix B. Basics in the Theory of Quasiconformal Mappings; Appendix C. Constructive Theory of Functions of a Complex Variable; Appendix D. Miscellaneous Topics.
