In the 1970s there was an HP Journal article series on calculator algorithms that discuss exactly this topic. Somewhere there must be a PDF which includes all these articles in one file, but of course you can also get the individual HP Journal issues.

Take a look at this thread, it includes links to the respective journals as well as some other info.
And finally you can do a search for the CORDIC algorithm that is used here.

Agreed! I’ve got a well-read copy myself. One of the best!
