In recent posts, some people referred to computing their own tables.
Aside from the issue of selecting the correct equations, the question
of computational accuracy comes to mind. I'm thinking of issues such
as rounding error and the occasional FPU that has subtle but
detectable algorithm errors. What checks are made to verify that the
resulting tables are computationally sound?
