The arctangent is one of the more interesting trigonometry functions – and by “interesting” I of course mean a bitch to get right. I've been meaning to write something about the various methods of calculating it for a while now and finally got round to it recently.
I, ah, uhm, may have gotten a little carried away with it though ... but that's okay,! At least now I while one to recommend.

Related source code: trig-src.zip. Also contains decent
sin(),cos()andtan()implementations.
Very interesting: thank you !
I usually go LUT+LERP when dealing with any "heavy" mathematical function on the GBA, but it's nice to see another approaches.
