MathLib is probably a better option for one of two reasons:
1) one day... 3com might put these routines in rom.
(anyone from 3com know of anything like this?)
2) if you have many applications using the routines,
then if you declare them inside each program - they
each have their own instance of sin(), cos() etc.
it depends on your target. if you only want sin() and
cos() for example - maybe it is easier to use them inline.
but if you are redefining all the routines.. MathLib is
the way to go.
