Coding a trigonometry calculator with NO IMPORTS using Taylor Series | Calculators Ep. 1

In this video, we will begin our fascinating dive into the inner workings of a calculator. First, we will learn about how the transistors in the CPU work. After that, we will explore the wonders of Taylor Series and how we can utilize it to easily and precisely compute trigonometric functions. Finally, we will code and test a trigonometry calculator that does not use any imports.

In episode 2, we will code an integral and derivative calculator using numeric integration and the first principle of derivatives.

For those of you interested in CORDIC, here are some good resources:
A simple but thorough introduction
An excellent video explanation
A more complex technical article

Also, if you’d like to learn more about how the Taylor Series formula is derived, I HIGHLY recommend this video
