Understood, but generating the reference table isn't part of interpolation, is it?

Line 6:
 
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. 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. A subsequent table of (''y, inv sin y, inv cos y, inv tan y'') records &mdash; while a bonus &mdash; is not strictly required. [[User:NevilleDNZ|NevilleDNZ]] 23:25, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
: Understood, but since the task is about interpolation, I figured that generating the initial reference table might be a spurious requirement. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 23:43, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
