The Chebyshev polinom approximation provides an efficient evaluation // of minimax polynomial, which (among all polynomials of the same degree) has the // smallest maximum deviation from the true function. // The methods based mainly on recommendations given in the book : An introduction to // NUMERICAL METHODS IN C++, B.H.
