Polynomial approximation theory is classical. Here, 

we will teach a selection of these important results 

from the Weierstrass' approximation theorem to the

equally-spaced impossibility theorem, from Lebesgue 

constants to Gauss quadrature. Everything 

will be illustrated computationally with a strong emphasis

on practical application.
