From 0 to 20 degrees, tan() is also roughly the same as sin(), so you throw that page out of your CRC math tables.


My copy of the CRC Math Tables was purchased by my mother in 1939 when
she was a freshman math student at Berkeley. Can't tear pages from an

BTW, funny how the numbers don't change with time. Must be some sort of
universal attribute.
