Line 9:
Polynomial expansions such as the [[Taylor series]] expansion are often convenient for theoretical work but less useful for practical applications. For practical work it is often desirable to minimize the maximum absolute or relative error of a polynomial fit for any given number of terms in an effort to reduce computational expense of repeated evaluation.
One popular minimax approximation algorithm is the [[Remez algorithm]]. [[Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind]] closely approximate the minimax polynomial.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://mathworld.wolfram.com/MinimaxPolynomial.html | title = Minimax Polynomial | publisher = Wolfram MathWorld | accessdate= 2012-09-03}}</ref>
