I have been trying to create custom calculator for calculating trigonometric functions. Aside from Chebyshev pylonomials and/or Cordic algorithm I have used Taylor series which have been accurate by few places of decimal.
This is what i have created to calculate simple trigonometric functions without any modules:
from __future__ import division
def sqrt(n):
ans = n ** 0.5
return ans
def factorial(n):
k = 1
for i in range(1, n+1):
k = i * k
return k
def sin(d):
pi = 3.14159265359
n = 180 / int(d) # 180 degrees = pi radians
x = pi / n # Converting degrees to radians
ans = x - ( x ** 3 / factorial(3) ) + ( x ** 5 / factorial(5) ) - ( x ** 7 / factorial(7) ) + ( x ** 9 / factorial(9) )
return ans
def cos(d):
pi = 3.14159265359
n = 180 / int(d)
x = pi / n
ans = 1 - ( x ** 2 / factorial(2) ) + ( x ** 4 / factorial(4) ) - ( x ** 6 / factorial(6) ) + ( x ** 8 / factorial(8) )
return ans
def tan(d):
ans = sin(d) / sqrt(1 - sin(d) ** 2)
return ans
Unfortunately i could not find any sources that would help me interpret inverse trigonometric function formulas for Python. I have also tried putting sin(x) to the power of -1 (sin(x) ** -1) which didn't work as expected.
What could be the best solution to do this in Python (In the best, I mean simplest with similar accuracy as Taylor series)? Is this possible with power series or do i need to use cordic algorithm?
