Padé approximation: http://list.dprg.org/archive/2007-January/030202.html Note that you'll have to do a lot of testing on the signs of x and y, and handle atan z for |z|>1 as pi/2 - atan(1/z). All these steps might take longer than the standard atan2 function. I guess it doesn't speed up anything to do it in fixed point.
