Corrected theorem name
Nov 2, 2020 at 19:27 comment added Nik Weaver I guess you're right, "Weierstrass approximation" refers to the one dimensional case. But the generalization to $n$ dimensions is quite easy and the Stone-Weierstrass theorem goes well beyond this.
Nov 2, 2020 at 18:09 comment added James E Hanson @NikWeaver Was the Weierstrass approximation theorem for functions on $[0,1]^n$ or just for intervals?
