This is a fun article!
Alternative avenues that complement the approaches shown:
- Padé Approximants (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pad%C3%A9_approximant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pad%C3%A9_approximant) can be better than long Taylor Series for this kind of thing.
- Bhaskara I's sin approximation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhaskara_I%27s_sine_approximation_formula https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhaskara_I%27s_sine_approximat...) is easily adaptable to cosine, remarkably accurate for its simplicity and also fast to calculate.
- nwallin 5y agoI have a few cases where I think a Padé approximation could really help me, but I've never been able to figure out, given a function, how to get the coefficients. Do you have any suggested reading?
