Oops, I have ignored that.
Anyway, it doesn't provide the user with a residual
as in the case of Numerical Recipes routine.
What is the meaning of poly1d
x = pade(cof,2)
>>> cof
array([ 1.        ,  1.        ,  0.5       ,  0.16666667, 
 0.04166667])
>>> x
(poly1d([ 0.08333333,  0.5       ,  1.        ]), poly1d([ 
0.08333333, -0.5       ,  1.        ]))
