RE: WP 34S vs. DM42 decimal128 differences?
I believe the 34S is correct here. Free42 uses the Intel decimal library which rounds some functions incorrectly.

Well, the 34S used to get this correct but there were some changes to the trig code to better handle cases near multiples of \( \frac{\pi}{2} \), it is possible they threw it off.
