3.1 C Math.h Library

Math.h includes the standard functions for single-precision floating-point sinf(), cosf(), atanf(), and atan2f(), as well as the double-precision sin(), cos(), atan(), atan2(). These functions use polynomial-based approximation methods and provide high accuracy with no input limitations, but at the cost of more cycles. These functions are benchmarked and the results are shared at the end of this section.
