Part I ; Concerning best fit -- Linear weights -- An iterative procedure -- Solution of equations -- Chebyshev polynomials -- Concerning weights -- Function with a peak -- Rates of convergence -- Choice of form -- A scoring-camera problem
This monograph deals with the subject of best approximation in the sense of Chebyshev as applied to the problem of making univariate functional data available to the high-speed digital computing machine. Our investigation is of a numerical and empirical nature. Part I of this book serves as an introduction to the collection of approximations given in Part II. Part II contains the "Approximations for Digital Computers," formerly issued as a cumulative publication of loose sheets and made available to numerical analysts upon request. Each sheet of the seventy-odd issued in this series contains an approximation of a useful or illustrative nature presented with a carefully drawn error curve
