The book was first published in 1943 and then was reprinted several
times with corrections. It presents the development of the
classical problem of moments for the first 50 years, after its
introduction by Stieltjes in the 1890s. In addition to initial
developments by Stieltjes, Markov, and Chebyshev, later
contributions by Hamburger, Nevanlinna, Hausdorff, Stone, and
others are discussed. The book also contains some results on the
trigonometric moment problem and a chapter devoted to approximate
quadrature formulas.
