This is an announcement for the paper "Approximation of functions and their derivatives by analytic maps on certain Banach spaces" by D. Azagra, R. Fry and L. Keener. Abstract: Let X be a separable Banach space which admits a separating polynomial; in particular X a separable Hilbert space. Let f:X→R be bounded, Lipschitz, and C¹ with uniformly continuous derivative. Then for each {\epsilon}>0, there exists an analytic function g:X→R with |g-f|<{\epsilon} and ‖g′-f′‖<{\epsilon}.
