This paper describes a single unified algorithm for the calculation of elementary functions including multiplication, division, sin, cos, tan, arctan, sinh, cosh, tanh, arctanh, In, exp and square-root The basis for the algorithm is coordinate rotation in a linear, circular, or hyperbolic coordinate system depending on which function is to be calculated The only operations required are shifting, adding, subtracting and the recall of prestored constants The limited domain of convergence of the algorithm is calculated, leading to a discussion of the modifications required to extend the domain for floating point calculationsread more

Error analysis and reduction for angle calculation using the CORDIC algorithm
TL;DR: This paper proposes a method based on the prescaling of the input operands and a modified CORDIC recurrence that is a suitable alternative to the input normalization with a smaller hardware cost and can also be used in pipelined architectures with redundant carry-save arithmetic.
