Chebyshev


A number of spellings of "Chebyshev" (which is the spelling used exclusively in this work) are commonly found in the literature. These include Tchebicheff, Čebyšev, Tschebyscheff, and Chebishev (Clenshaw 1962). Cheney and Kincaid (1994, Ex. 14, p. 16) pose the construction of all possible variations based on different transliterations of each syllable (Ceb/Tscheb/Tcheb/Cheb, y/i, and schef/cev/cheff/scheff/shev) as a problem to students, and Wagon (1992) provides a short Wolfram Language program to enumerate all 40 possibilities.
