Recently I have been studying rotations. I was particularly interested in the primitive mathematics involved in the conversion between Polar and Cartesian coordinate systems. Usually you are told to use the trig functions to do this. What was actually happening always seemed hidden in the implementation of the trig functions, so I took the time to implement a cosine generator based on a report a man by the name of Dr. William D. Bishop had come up with.
