// The Tschebychev polynomials (of the 1st kind) T_n(x) are defined
// through the recurrence relation
//
//    T_0(x) = 1
//    T_1(x) = x
//    T_{n+2}(x) = 2x T_{n+1}(x) - T_n(x) for n >= 0.
//
// Theorem:
//    T_n(x) satisfies the differential equation
//    (x^2-1)*T_n''(x) + x*T_n'(x) - n^2*T_n(x) = 0.
//
// Proof: See elsewhere.
//
// Corollary:
//    The coefficients c_{n,k} of T_n(x) = sum(k=0..n, c_{n,k} x^k)
//    satisfy:
//       c_{n,n} = 2^(n-1) for n>=1, 1 for n=0,
//       c_{n,n-1} = 0,
//       c_{n,k} = (k+1)(k+2)/(k^2-n^2)*c_{n,k+2}
//
// It follows that for n>0
//
// T_n(x) = sum(j=0..floor(n/2), (-1)^j (n-j-1)!n/j!(n-2j)! 2^(n-2j-1) x^(n-2j))
