This survey revisits Jenő Egerváry and Otto Szász’s article of 1928 on trigonometric polynomials and simple structured matrices focussing mainly on the latter topic. In particular, we concentrate on the spectral theory for the first type of the matrices introduced in the article, which are today referred to as k-tridiagonal matrices, and then discuss the explosion of interest in them over the last two decades, most of which could have benefitted from the seminal article, had it not been overlooked.
