  Inversine sine function
 
Hello, I would like to calculate an inverse sine (arcsin) function for one of my application. Does anyone know the algorithm of this trigonometric function? Thank you, J.M. Mongeau (25 years ago, 13-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) You might give this a try (for -1 < x < 1): ArcSin(x) = x + a(1)*x^3 + a(2)*x^5 + a(3)*x^7 + ... etc. with a(1) = 0.1666666667 a(2) = 0.0750000000 a(3) = 0.0446428571 a(4) = 0.0303819444 a(5) = 0.0223721599 a(6) = 0.0173527644 a(7) = (...)

This polynomial approximation looks better: ArcSin(x) = Pi/2 - Sqrt(1-x)*(a(0) + a(1)*x + a(2)*x^2 + a(3)*x^3 + a(4)*x^4 + a(5)*x^5 + a(6)*x^6 + a(7)*x^7 ) where a(0) = 1.57079 63050 a(1) = -0.21459 88016 a(2) = 0.08897 89874 a(3) = -0.05017 43046 (...)
