hello,
i've been thinking about this for a while now, and here it goes:
How does a calculator or any computer for that matter calculate trig functions
(lookup table; perhaps? and a linear approx in-between or Square function approx??)
My research lead to somehting called the Taylor series, but that gives an approximation.
Is there's a formula that can give a precise value like Sqrt(whatever)??
