Approximation of polynomials by Hermite interpolation

Robert Kantrowitz earned his Ph.D. from Syracuse University in 1990. Since then, he has served on the mathematics faculty at Hamilton College, his undergraduate alma mater. Much of his recent work focuses on analytic and geometric aspects of models of projectile motion. He has a large collection of mechanical pencils and fountain pens and dabbles in model railroading. Michael Neumann received his doctoral and habilitation degrees from Saarland Uni-versity in his native Germany and taught at Mississippi State University for more than thirty years. While his main work is in functional analysis and operator theory, his more recent research interests center around convex functions and projectile motion. He is passionate about the history of mathematics.
