Description

Do we want to provide a deterministic option for different math functions? For example Math.sin is not deterministic between all browsers.

The determinism:

  • The same result between all browser.
  • The same result between all platforms.
  • The same result between all machines.

Research direction

The issue names Math.sin as the example entry point but does not identify files or tests. Start by examining the library's existing math-function exports and how they are tested; define which functions and browser, platform, and machine guarantees would constitute a complete deterministic option.
