Abstract: We address the problem of evaluating an $L$-function when only a small number of its Dirichlet coefficients are known. We use the approximate functional equation in a new way and find that is possible to evaluate the $L$-function more precisely than one would expect from the standard approach. The method, however, requires considerably more computational effort to achieve a given accuracy than would be needed if more Dirichlet coefficients were available.
