The document discusses Chebyshev polynomials. It defines Chebyshev polynomials as orthogonal polynomials related to de Moivre's formula that can be defined recursively. It provides key properties of Chebyshev polynomials including that they are the extremal polynomials for many properties and important in approximation theory. The document also provides formulas for generating Chebyshev polynomials, their orthogonality properties, and their use in representing functions through orthogonal series expansions.
