Component:  numpy.polynomial   |     Version:  devel

 I am very new to evaluating Chebyshev polynomials, but shouldn't chebval
 subtract off 0.5*(first coefficient), as in Numerical Recipes, or here?:
 http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ChebyshevApproximationFormula.html (which
 cites Numerical Recipes, actually).

 I was finding unexpected differences in how numpy evaluated Chebyshev
 polynomials from some code I was trying to replicate, and I traced it back
 to this little thing.
