[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] algorithms for IEEE

stoemmer@ds0 (Peter Stoemmer) (02/05/91)

 I'm trying to write an emuator for
the Intel 80387 floating point coprocessor.
The format used (IEEE standard) is familiar
too me, but I think somebody must have thought
about doing the more complicated routines
like cosine, exp ...
Could anybody tell me about the algoriths used 
to calculate these function (in approximation,
of course).
Any hints on algorithms, articels or books are
wellcome.
Tanks a lot.
