Questions tagged [chebyshev-polynomials]
In mathematics the Chebyshev polynomials, named after Pafnuty Chebyshev, are two sequences of orthogonal polynomials which are related to de Moivre's formula. These polynomials are also known for their elegant Trigonometric properties, and can also be defined recursively. They are very helpful in Trigonometry, Complex Analysis, and other branches of Algebra.

Density of Chebyshev nodes
While reading some notes, I came across the following statement:
``Chebyshev points have density $\mu(x) = \frac{N}{\pi\sqrt{1-x^2}}$".
I would like to understand where this formula comes from. ...
