Thank you Gerson Barbosa!!

I was playing with the approximations of trigonometric functions and their inverses. The articles by Gerson Barbosa in this web site (especially the most recent one on implementing these functions on an HP-12C) proved to be most valuable. I had used many methods to calculate the tangent (some are based on calculating a good approximation for the sine function). The MinMax polynomial approximation that Gerson presents is definitely a winner!! I first implemented the algorithms in Excel VBA and then for the HP-41C and the HP-67. It all looks good!

Thanks Gerson for putting the time to share effective algorithms to calculate the sine and arc tangent functions.

Here first is the pseudo-code (all angles are in radians):

Given the angle X which is in the range of –pi to pi
Given the function BaseSinApprox(x) which is the MinMax polynomial approximation

If X = 0 then Return 0 as the sin(X)
If X < 0 then Chs = -1 else Chs =1
Let X = |X|
If X <= pi/6 then
Let SinVal = BaseSinApprox(X)
ElseIf X <= pi/2 then
Let S = BaseSinApprox (X/3)
Let SinVal = S * (3 - 4 * S^2)
ElseIf X <= pi then
Let alpha = X/2
Let beta = pi/2 - X/2
If alpha <= pi/6 then
Let S1 = BaseSinApprox(alpha)
Else
Let S = BaseSinApprox(alpha/3)
Let S1 = S * (3 - 4 * S^2)
End If
If beta <= pi/6 then
Let S2 = BaseSinApprox(beta)
Else
Let S = BaseSinApprox(beta /3)
Let S2 = S * (3 - 4 * S^2)
End if
Let SinVal = 2 * S1 * S2
End If
Return Chs* SinVal as sin(X)

Here is the HP-41C

Registered used:

R00 = angle X
R01 = angle alpha = X/2
R02 = angle beta = pi/2 - X/2
R03 = pi/6
R04 = pi/2
R05 = S
R06 = SinVal
R07 = Temp angle

Flag 0 = set when X < 0 and clear when X > 0

Very nice.

The pseudo code confused me at first, until I realized that most of your tests were meant to be "<=" not just "=".

Then the range reduction made sense. Looks like a neat job of RPN coding also.


#8

Sorry for the confusion.I have edited the original post to correct the errors (I was on my way out on a trip to another state for Thanksgiving when I posted my comments).

You're welcome, Namir!!

But don't forget to take a look at the references I have listed in the 12C Platinum article. Without them I coudn't have made it!

Perhaps you'd like to take a look at the TurboBCD version:

Gerson.

Thanks for the Turbo pascal code!
