The present work develops suitable rational approximations to the sine integral \(Si(x)\) and cosine integral \(Ci(x)\) with maximal accuracy of 20sf., except near the zeros of \(Ci(x)\) for \(x>6\). The implementation of these approximations into a robust and reliable code is then considered. Finally, a test procedure, to assess the performance of \(Si\) and \(Ci\) codes, is developed and applied to various available programs. Use of the tests discovers a major error in the netlib for codes for \(Si\).
