Re: [xsl] Math "functions" for XSLT 1.0

[COUTHURES Alain <alain.couthures@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dimitre,

Unfortunately, FXSL is not in first results listed by Google when 
searching "xslt sin" or "xslt cos".

By the way, almost 30 years ago, I already knew that calculators never 
use Taylor series (CORDIC algorithms were written in 1959)... Even if 
they are mathematically correct, they require too many iterations for 
small systems and managing huge numbers such as factorials is not always 
possible. I'm interested in XSLT at browser side and speed is important.

So, if FXSL users consider it good enough for their requirements, it's 
good to know. Do you know if they are working at client-side or at 
server-side ?

Because I spent no more than one day to find algorithms and less than 
one another to implement the ones I need, it wasn't for me a costly 
effort, anyway.

If only Microsoft had already implemented XSLT 2.0, XPath 2.x, SVG, 
XForms,... more efforts would have been saved...

Best regards,
