The following polynomial approximations to functions often needed in radiative transfer calculations were derived by standard Chebyschev methods after an initial transformation of the independent variable. They form a convenient method of computing these functions on an electronic computer, and were used by Dave, Sheppard and Walshaw (1963), with the exception of No. 1, which has been modified to cover the whole range of the variable.
