Abstract
We present a radix-10 variant of the BKM algorithm. It is ashift-and-add, C ORDIC-like algorithm that allows fast computation of complex exponentials a nd logarithms. It can easily be used to compute the classical real elementa ry functions (sin, cos, arctan, ln, exp). This radix-10 version is suitable for implementationin a pocket computer.
