This book tells how continued fractions, studied even in Ancient Greece, only became a powerful tool in the hands of Euler, how he introduced the idea of orthogonal polynomials and combined the two subjects. The approach of Wallis, Brouncker and Euler is revived to illustrate its continuing significance on mathematics today.
