Extract

In this paper two computational processes are outlined in which the table of Chebyshev Polynomials Cn(x) = 2 cos (n cos−1 ½x) given in the preceding paper may be used with effect; these processes are (a) interpolation and (b) Fourier synthesis. A brief outline is also given of the idea behind the process of “Economization of Power Series” developed in Lanczos, 1938; this is related to (a). Finally the application of (b) to the calculation of Mathieu functions is considered.
