Continued Fractions and their Generalizations: A short history of f-expansions

Fritz Schweiger

ABOUT THE BOOK

This book is about the history of f-expansions, their theory, their application, and their connection to other parts of mathematics. Sketches of proofs of some of the theorems about f-expansions–particularly theorems from historical sources–are included not to convince the reader of the truth of the theorem but rather as a way to demonstrate why the theorem is true. These sketches should give a clearer and more easily understood description of the working of the theorem than a hand-waving literary flourish.
