Abstract
An inequality first proved by J. F. Steffensen [1] in 1918 is the subject of this Chapter. It is curious that this inequality is not included in the monograph of G. H. Hardy, J. Littlewood, and G. Pólya [2] Steffensen’s paper was not reviewed in Jahrbuch über die Fortschritte der Matematik. It is however, mentioned by G. Szegö in his review of the papers [3] and [4] by T. Hayashi.
