Has anybody put together sine and/or cosine function in TeX?  I'm not
looking for anything fancy; integer degree values are enough.  My
guess is that the best way would be a table lookup with 91 different
values, storing something like $1000 \sin\theta$ for $0 \le \theta \le 90$.
(Although, one could try something like the Taylor expansion for sine,
I sure don't want to program $\theta^x \over x!$ in TeX!)

I was going to try doing this myself, but thought I'd see if it had
already been done before.

Thanks,
   Dan
