It deals with the problem of polynomials and reveals that the sequence of these polynomials forms an orthogonal system with respect to a non-negative m-distribution defined on the real numerical axis. Comprised of five chapters, the book begins with the fundamental properties of orthogonal polynomials. After discussing the momentum problem, it then explains the quadrature procedure, the convergence theory, and G. Szegő's theory. This book is useful for those who intend to use it as reference for future studies or as a textbook for lecture purposes
