CHEBYSHEV_SERIES
Evaluate Chebyshev Series with Derivatives

CHEBYSHEV_SERIES is a MATLAB library which can evaluate a Chebyshev series approximating a function f(x), while efficiently computing one, two or three derivatives of the series, which approximate f'(x), f''(x), and f'''(x), by Manfred Zimmer.

Note that this library does not compute a Chebyshev series; it assumes that the series has already been computed, and offers an efficient means of evaluating the series and its derivatives simultaneously.
