Weierstrass approximation theorem


If f is a continuousPlanetmathPlanetmath real-valued function on a interval [a,b] then for all ε>0 there exists a polynomialPlanetmathPlanetmath P which satisfies |f(x)-P(x)|<εx[a,b] This theorem also holds for compact subsets of n. The Stone-Weierstrass theorem is a generalizationPlanetmathPlanetmath to even more general situations.
