How to Find a Fast Floating-Point atan2 Approximation
This post shows how a compact, fast atan2 can be built from a Remez-derived arctangent approximation and a matching 3rd-order polynomial. It walks through using Boost's remez_minimax to recover coefficients 0.97239411 and -0.19194795, integrating the polynomial into an atan2 with quadrant reduction, and applying branch reduction, bit tricks, and SSE2 SIMD to cut runtime while keeping max error under about 0.005 radians.
