Hence the term trigonometric polynomial as the sin(nx)s and cos(nx)s are used similar to the monomial basis for a polynomial.
The trigonometric polynomials are used in trigonometric interpolation to interpolate periodic functions.
A basic result is that the trigonometric polynomials are dense in the space of continuous functions on the unit circle, with the uniform norm.

 Trigonometric function - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The computation of trigonometric functions is a complicated subject, which can today be avoided by most people because of the widespread availability of computers and scientific calculators that provide built-in trigonometric functions for any angle.
The six trigonometric functions can also be defined in terms of the unit circle, the circle of radius one centered at the origin.
The earliest systematic study of trigonometric functions and tabulation of their values was performed by Hipparchus of Nicaea ( 180 - 125 BC), who tabulated the lengths of circle arcs (angle A times radius r) with the lengths of the subtending chords (2 r sin( A /2)).

 Generating trigonometric tables   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Tables of trigonometric function s are useful in a number of areas.
Interpolation of simple look-up tables of trigonometric functions are still used in computer graphics, where accurate calculations are either not needed, or cannot be made fast enough.
Another important application of trigonometric tables and generation schemes is for fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithms, where the same trigonometric function values (called twiddle factors) must be evaluated many times in a given transform, especially in the common case where many transforms of the same size are computed.

The culmination of these efforts is Taylor's theorem, which roughly states that every differentiable function locally looks like a polynomial, and the Stone-Weierstrass theorem, which states that every continuous function defined on a compact interval of the real axis can be approximated on the whole interval as closely as desired by a polynomial.
Depending on the degree of the polynomial to be considered, simply checking if the polynomial has linear factors can eliminate several cases, and then resorting to checking divisibility of some other irreducible polynomials, however Eisenstein's criterion can be used to more efficiently determine irreducibility.

 Polynomial interpolation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the mathematical subfield of numerical analysis, polynomial interpolation is the interpolation of a given data set by a polynomial.
One method is to write the interpolation polynomial in the Newton form and use the method of divided differences to construct the coefficients.
This can be seen as a form of polynomial interpolation with harmonic base functions, see trigonometric interpolation and trigonometric polynomial.

Classic problems connected with trigonometric polynomial approximation of periodic functions, extremal properties of algebraic and trigonometric polynomials, orthogonal polynomials and their asymptotic, approximating and extremal properties.
The fundamental research was done to study extremal and asymptotic properties of orthogonal (algebraic on the interval or on the unit circle and trigonometric) polynomials and their derivatives in the case when the weight function has singularities.
Existence theorems for the interpolating and interpolating in the mean polynomial splines with uniform nodal points of splines and uniform points of interpolation in the case of their arbitrary mutual location were proved, the bounds of approximation errors were obtained for various classes of functions (Yu.N.Subbotin).

 Polynomial/Trig Regression Data Fit
For the trigonometric data fit, the data should represent a periodic function, and the x data should be scaled so that values between 0 and 1 are proportional to 2 Pi radians (or 360 degrees).
For both types of regression, the choice of degree and the evaluation of the fit's quality depend on judgments that are left up to the user.
The optimal fit is that in which the degree of the equation is equal to the number of data pairs minus one.

 A Levinson--Galerkin Algorithm for Regularized Trigonometric Approximation
Trigonometric polynomials are widely used for the approximation of a smooth function from a set of nonuniformly spaced samples.
If the samples are perturbed by noise, a good choice for the polynomial degree of the trigonometric approximation becomes an essential issue to avoid overfitting and underfitting of the data.
Standard methods for trigonometric least squares approximation assume that the degree for the approximating polynomial is known a priori, which is usually not the case in practice.

 Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Equivalently, the entire spectrum of the bandlimited signal should be expressible in terms of the finitely many time-domain coefficients obtained from sampling the signal.
Mathematically this is equivalent to requiring that a (trigonometric) polynomial can have infinitely many zeros since the bandlimited signal must be zero on an interval beyond a critical frequency which has infinitely many points.
However, it is well-known that polynomials do not have more zeros than their orders due to the fundamental theorem of algebra.

We construct bounded polynomial operators, similar to the classical de la Valle\'e Poussin operators in Fourier series, which preserve polynomials of a certain degree, but are defined in terms of the values of the function rather than its Fourier coefficients.
Applications to the mean boundedness of a quasi-interpolatory operator in the case of trigonometric polynomials, Jacobi polynomials, and Freud polynomials are presented.
Our analysis is based on orthogonal polynomials with respect to the weight in question, but the frame bounds are independent of the system of orthogonal polynomials used.

 Example: Symbolic Algebra
as a polynomial in x with coefficients that are trigonometric functions of polynomials in y whose coefficients are integers.
We will define a polynomial to be a sum of terms, each of which is either a coefficient, a power of the indeterminate, or a product of a coefficient and a power of the indeterminate.
If the coefficients of the coefficients were themselves polynomials (as might be used to represent polynomials in three variables), the data direction would ensure that the system would follow through another level of recursive calls, and so on through as many levels as the structure of the data dictates.

The program determines the coefficients of the polynomial, the generalized correlation coefficient and the standard error of estimate.
Note that, even though there are 5 values in each direction, only 4 of the function's values are independent because its value at the interval's end point must be the same as at the initial point because of the required periodicity.
