The mathematical theory for many application areas depends on a deep understanding of the theory of moments. These areas include medical imaging, signal processing, computer visualization, and data science. The problem of moments has also found novel applications to areas such as control theory, image analysis, signal processing, polynomial optimization, and statistical big data.

• The Classical Moment Problem and Some Related Questions in Analysis presents:
  • a unified treatment of the development of the classical moment problem from the late 19th century to the middle of the 20th century,
  • important connections between the moment problem and many branches of analysis,
  • a unified exposition of important classical results, which are difficult to read in the original journals, and
  • a strong foundation for many areas in modern applied mathematics.
