[https://chebfun.org Chebfun] is a mathematics and software project for "numerical computing with functions". Basically it approximates functions to machine precision ($10^-15$) using Chebyshev polynomial interpolants. Operations on those functions (arithmetic, derivatives, root-finding, etc) are then overloaded and return new interpolating polynomials. | [https://chebfun.org Chebfun] is a mathematics and software project for "numerical computing with functions".
