In such a case it might actually be a good idea to use a different name
for such functions, to more clearly indicate their nature, eg. in this case
that they may be less accurate. Perhaps something like fastsin(), fastcos(),
etc.

(I don't think math expressions in code need to look *exactly* like on paper.
Which they already don't; after all, people rarely use the asterisk to
indicate multiplication when writing math on paper.)
