I'm surprised X-COM has sines and cosines. The only place I can think that these might be used, is with the construction/presentation of the world globe and related things, perhaps night/day lighting changes and maybe aircraft travel arcs.

My interest was the Battlescape. (I'm thinking of figuring out the LOS algorithm. There's some definite weirdness since you can reaction-fire on aliens you can't see during your turn.) The numerical approximations could be responsible for the possibility of missing at 100% accuracy reported by NKF. It also could be involved in computing the trajectories of missed shots.
