I know about the Math.sin() and Math.cos() functions, but I'm wondering if there's a way I can create (or use an already-existing) a faster function, given that I don't care about pinpoint accuracy. I'm looking to execute a basic sin or cos calculation, and have it perform essentially as fast as possible. Would simply iterating the sigma a few times be any faster than Math.sin()?

Since you don't care much about accuracy store it in a table that is precomputed or only computed once, this is what I do when I want to avoid calls to Math which can be expensive when done alot.
Roughly
public class CosSineTable {
double[] cos = new double[361];
double[] sin = new double[361];
private static CosSineTable table = new CosSineTable();
private CosSineTable() {
for (int i = 0; i <= 360; i++) {
cos[i] = Math.cos(Math.toRadians(i));
sin[i] = Math.sin(Math.toRadians(i));
}
}
public double getSine(int angle) {
int angleCircle = angle % 360;
return sin[angleCircle];
}
public double getCos(int angle) {
int angleCircle = angle % 360;
return cos[angleCircle];
}
public static CosSineTable getTable() {
return table;
}
}
I leave the optimization of the loop and methods to you.
