unusual facts about trigonometric



Cecilia Krieger

"On the summability of trigonometric series with localized parameters--on Fourier constants and convergence factors of double Fourier series".

Floating-point unit

Some systems (particularly older, microcode-based architectures) can also perform various transcendental functions such as exponential or trigonometric calculations, though in most modern processors these are done with software library routines.

Jacques Ozanam

In 1670, he published trigonometric and logarithmic tables more accurate than the existing ones of Ulacq, Pitiscus, and Briggs.

Scientific calculator

The HP-9100 series was built entirely from discrete transistor logic with no integrated circuits, and was one of the first uses of the CORDIC algorithm for trigonometric computation in a personal computing device, as well as the first calculator based on Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) entry.
