Abstract
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 calculations

Implementation of fast angle calculation and rotation using on-line CORDIC

TL;DR: The main contributions are the introduction of redundant (carry-free) addition to replace time-consuming conventional additions, the use of online arithmetic to reduce the communication bandwidth, maximize the overlap between successive operations, and replace area-expensive shifters by delays.

Generalized CORDIC for digital signal processing

TL;DR: The development of algorithms involving nonstationary processes and the limiting constraints of VLSI motivate the extension of the CORDIC concept in other directions, which can be applied not only to one-parameter groups but to other Lie groups as well, leading to generalized CORDic algorithms.
