--- Comment #1 from Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton <lkcl at lkcl.net> ---
these are all easiest done with different types of CORDIC. they may be more
*efficiently* done with advanced algorithms such as 3rd order polynomials and
NR with huge lookup tables however VORDIC is pretty straightforward so we go
with that as an initial base, see how far that gets us.

CORDIC has many different modes including linear, polar, and so on that cover
pretty much everything based around Euler's equation e^(i pi) = -1
