Highly accurate tables for elementary functions (Q1904275): Difference between revisions

Based on \textit{J. E. Bresenham's} algorithm [Algorithm for computer control of a digital plotter, IBM Systems J., 25-30 (1965)], a fast method for computing accurate tables of elementary functions is proposed. Together with a polynomial approximation of a function near a table value the method provides last bit accuracy for practically all argument values with using extended precision computations. The paper proposes PASCAL program fragments for some of the usual elementary functions (trigonometric, hyperbolic, etc.).
