Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (MATCOM), 1976, vol. 18, issue 2, 89-91

Abstract: An explicit formula expressing the error of a linear approximation to a given function is shown. The result gives us a simple method of choosing the ⪡breakpoints⪢ of a piecewise linear approximation. Some comments on ⪡interpolative⪢ versus ⪡minimax⪢ approximation and equal versus variable length pieces are also given.
