Formal Verification of Medina's Sequence of Polynomials for Approximating Arctangent

The verification of many algorithms for calculating transcendental functions is based on polynomial approximations to these functions, often Taylor series approximations. However, computing and verifying approximations to the arctangent function are very challenging problems, in large part because t...
