As the title infers...Catalyst has used some crazy maths there (factorials, possibly some level of calculus as well) so as to approximate the value of sine on a graph, starting with the function y = x. Of course I can't tell you exactly how this works, or the applications, but I can tell you that if you exchange the assignemnts at the start of the programme thusly:
You get cosine. This is interesting as the graph you start off with is y = -x. |
