: The task description modification is nice, but would it be terribly problematic to just provide the table? The task seems to have more stages than it really needs. A TSV table would be pretty useful for the purpose, IMHO. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 22:35, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

The table of (''x, sin x, cos x, tan x'') records is generated prior to any interpolation being done... Then the interpolation is used to create &mdash; user defined &mdash; ''inv sin, inv cos and inv tan'' functions. Hence I figured that the three simple &pi; calculations &mdash; 6 &times; sin<sup>-1</sup> &frac12;, 3 &times; cos<sup>-1</sup> &frac12; and 4 &times; tan<sup>-1</sup> 1 &mdash; simply present/test/prove the interpolation is implemented correctly. Hence a subsequent table of (''inv sin, inv cos, inv tan'') records &mdash; while a bonus &mdash; is not strictly required. [[User:NevilleDNZ|NevilleDNZ]] 23:11, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
