I spent the summer porting a fixed point math library to Arm's Thumb2 assembly, and learned a lot when I hit the arc-trig functions. At the high school level, suffice it to say that these functions are very-not-polynomials and therefore hate Taylor series expansions. At the college level, suffice it to say that if I ever teach numerical approximations the final exam will be to approximate arcsine.
