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

Hardware efficient algorithms for trigonometric functions

TL;DR: A new algorithm is presented which significantly reduces the minimum amount of logic required to calculate sine, cosine, and square root and is found to be reasonably fast, very accurate, and to require considerably less hardware than a comparable CORDIC algorithm.
