How does one implement scientific funtions in a high-level language.
?!?
I have written a compiler for a small language and want to add a floating
point library to it.
One suggestion I received was to have a table of known values and
to interpolate all others. (ie a table of sine values)
Yah, that would work (except for square roots), but that is the quick
and dirty way.

Anyother suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
