\description{
  Chebyshev Coefficients for Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind.
}
\usage{
chebCoeff(fun, a, b, n)
}
\arguments{
  \item{fun}{function to be approximated.}
  \item{a, b}{endpoints of the interval.}
  \item{n}{an integer \code{>= 0}.}
}
\details{
  For a function \code{fun} on on the interval \code{[a, b]} determines the
  coefficients of the Chebyshev polynomials up to degree \code{n} that will
  approximate the function (in L2 norm).
}
\value{
  Vector of coefficients for the Chebyshev polynomials, from low to high
  degrees (see the example).
