I am currently doing some numerical work using Tchebyshev polynomials to
approximate functions and I was wonder if anyone could provide me with
sources of information, tips, potential problems, etc on calculating 
the coefficients and evaluating them. In particular what are the
potential numerical problems (roundoff I  would imagine) in evaluating
polynomials with large powers. 

Thanks in advance
