Chebyshev Polynomials
Editorial Reviews
Review
The book presents a wide panorama of the applications of Chebyshev polynomials to scientific computing. [It] is very clearly written and is a pleasure to read. Examples inserted in the text allow one to test his or her ability to understand and use the methods, which are described in detail, and each chapter ends with a section full of very pedagogical problems.
Mathematics of Computation
The book, by two well known specialists, is well written and presented. Many examples are given and problems have been added for students. It is a book that every numerical analyst should have.

Book Description
Chebyshev polynomials are important in approximation theory and in the development of spectral methods for the solution of ordinary and partial differential equations. This book gives an up-to-date exposition on the theoretical and practical roles of the Chebyshev polynomials. Theoretical discussions focus on definitions and properties as well as the key formulae for generating the polynomials and computing the expressions that involve them. Practical discussions center on applications that include polynomial approximation, rational approximation, integration, integral equations, and ordinary and partial differential equations, particularly the tau and spectral methods.
