Are you thinking of Chebyshev polynomials? I don't think there is, but there might be as part of scipy. I've got (two) implementations of them that I haven't had time to put into Sage proper, but they're pretty straightforward to implement. - Robert --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
