<p>In <a href="/facts/Mathematics/pxTouaz4">mathematics</a>, the equioscillation theorem concerns the <a href="/facts/Approximation_theory/87AaPXLp">approximation</a> of <a href="/facts/Continuous_function/sKbl02pB">continuous functions</a> using <a href="/facts/Polynomial/Lzak8VVx">polynomials</a> when the merit function is the maximum difference (<a href="/facts/Uniform_norm/5yIkjNE3">uniform norm</a>). Its discovery is attributed to <a href="/facts/Pafnuty_Chebyshev/LzRqLqRm">Chebyshev</a>. </p>
