The book presents a combination of two topics: one coming from the theory of approximation of functions and integrals by interpolation and quadrature, respectively, and the other from the numerical analysis of operator equations, in particular, of integral and related equations.
The text focusses on interpolation and quadrature processes for functions defined on bounded and unbounded intervals and having certain singularities at the endpoints of the interval, as well as on numerical methods for Fredholm integral equations of first and second kind with smooth and weakly singular kernel functions, linear and nonlinear Cauchy singular integral equations, and hypersingular integral equations.
The book includes both classic and very recent results and will appeal to graduate students and researchers who want to learn about the approximation of functions and the numerical solution of operator equations, in particular integral equations.

"It is worthy to highlight the good structure of the book. On the one hand, the book is self-contained so deeply recommended for academic purposes and on the other hand, it is of unbounded interest for many researchers in applied and pure mathematics. Moreover, the book which are very helpful for readers. Finally, the authors also provide lists of exercises in every single chapter, very helpful also for the right understanding of the contents given." (Eduardo Cuesta, zbMATH 1533.65004, 2024)
