The Remez algorithm for Chebyshev approximation of real continuous functions is adapted to an interactive environment. With the aid of a graphic display terminal the user is directly involved in each iteration, contributing global human logic and controlling the extent of iterative refinement. The underlying mathematics, an implementation description, and several illustrative examples are presented.
