Just curious....why the post? Is this from another thread somewhere...

Anyways, are the approximation functions a truncated infinite series, similar to a Taylor series? If the denominators are n!, you probably won't need many terms to get a very good approximation.

What's the difference between jpeg, mpeg, bitmaps (and others...) is there a best (clearest) way to store the the info?
