Fast fixed point pow, log, exp and sqrt
A very simple solution is to use a decent table-driven approximation. You don’t actually need a lot of data if you reduce your inputs correctly. exp(a)==exp(a/2)*exp(a/2), which means you really only need to calculate exp(x) for 1 < x < 2. Over that range, a runga-kutta approximation would give reasonable results with ~16 entries IIRC. … Read more
