Developed over a period of many years of working with students at the University of Texas, Austin, this book cultivates mathematical creativity and independence. The book is self contained, and assumes little formal mathematical background on the part of the reader.

Focuses on the study of continued fractions in the theory of analytic functions, rather than on arithmetical aspects. This book provides discussions of orthogonal polynomials, power series, infinite matrices and quadratic forms in infinitely many variables, definite integrals, the moment problem and the summation of divergent series.
