[QUICK DESCRIPTION] It is often useful to know that a function can be approximated by a polynomial. This page has links to articles about different types of polynomial approximation --- how to do them or how to prove that they can be done. [[To make a function nicer without changing it much, convolve it with an approximate delta function]] [cut] Quick description || This article explains one way of showing that a continuous function on a closed bounded interval can be uniformly approximated by a polynomial.[/cut]
