The +experiment was a failure in that some of the algorithms chosen (e.g. recursive +algorithms for sin/cos, etc..) are too simple and do not provide proper accuracy +nor handle very large or very small inputs adequately. + +The code is considered moth-balled. The stable math library routines can be +found in libm/math and the configuration option to use this has been removed. + +If you wish to experiment with the concept, please feel free and report back if +you have major improvements. |
