Continued fractions and orthogonal functions are two important and interconnected topics in mathematics. Continued fractions are a way of expressing a number as a series of nested fractions, and orthogonal functions are a set of functions that are mutually orthogonal, meaning that their inner product is zero. These two concepts have applications in a wide range of fields, including number theory, approximation theory, and quantum mechanics.

In his book Continued Fractions and Orthogonal Functions, Peter Borwein provides a comprehensive and accessible to these topics. The book is written in a clear and engaging style, and it includes numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand the material. Borwein also provides historical context and discusses the latest developments in the field.

Continued Fractions and Orthogonal Functions is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone with an interest in mathematics. The book provides a deep and thorough understanding of these fascinating topics, and it is sure to inspire readers to learn more about the field.
