This monograph compiles a great number of results of many mathematicians in the field of classical Fourier series and the theory of approximation. Naturally the leading part of the exposition is connected with the author's contributions to the subject. In the Preface the author raises the question: ``What is new in this monograph? I accept his answer to be cited: ``First of all, it is worth noting methods that enable one to solve, within the framework of a common approach, traditional problems of approximation theory for large collections of functions, including the well-known Weyl-Nagy and Sobolev classes as particular cases as well as classes of functions defined by convolutions with arbitrary summable kernels. The results obtained with the use of these methods are also new. The book is divided into two parts and consists of twelve chapters, two informative Bibliographical notes, two abundant References and Index. \noindent The first four chapters collect a good introductory material, but the theorems are of independent interest. \noindent E.g., Ch.~1 is devoted to general problems of the theory of summation of Fourier series. In this chapter the author presents the well-known Nagy and Nikol'skij statements giving sufficient regularity conditions and the known Telyakovskij theorem. \noindent Ch.~2 deals with general problems of the theory of saturation. \noindent Ch.~3 presents the most traditional classes of periodic functions. \noindent Ch.~4 treats the integral representations of deviations of polynomials generated by linear processes of summation of Fourier series. \noindent Ch.~5 is the last in the first part and gives a good summary of results concerning approximation by Fourier sums in spaces \(C\) and \(L_1\). Among others, this chapter treats the Kolmogorov-Nikol'skij problem for Poisson integrals, some corollaries of the Telyakovskij theorem and strong summability of Fourier series. \noindent Ch.~6 is devoted to the convergence rate of Fourier series and the best approximations in the spaces \(L_p\), including some embedding theorems for certain special sets. \noindent Ch.~7 collects several results on best approximation in the spaces \(C\) and \(L\). The orders are also determined for large collections of functions. \noindent Ch.~8 is devoted to interpolation. Some Nikol'skii theorems and the Favard method are also treated. \noindent Ch.~9 offers a delicate selection of the problems of approximation of locally integrable functions defined on the entire axis (not necessarily periodic) with the use of entire functions of the exponential type. \noindent Ch.~10 studies the approximation of Cauchy-type integrals. \noindent Ch.~11, as the author writes, presents new results (published in 2001-2002) and ``their analysis will be performed in the future. This material is a result of a search for new approaches to problems of the theory of approximation of functions of many variables and, in particular, functions periodic in each variable. There are many problems here, but the following may be regarded as the most important ones: the choice of approximating aggregates, the choice of classes of functions, and the choice of approximation characteristics. Ch.~12 presents a great number of results concerning approximations by Zygmund and de la Vallée Poussin sums but without proofs. \noindent The monograph is warmly recommended to everybody who is interested in approximation theory.
