I'd always figured I'd use Taylor series.  But I was thinking earlier it would be better to start with the exact angles (30, 45, 60) and then use half angle formulas and sum and difference formulas to work down toward finer resolution.  Whenever you decided it was enough

There seems to be a vocal segment of people out there that want to argue, vehemently, that angular momentum conservation is invalid.  And they'll get downright ugly about, saying things like "people who still believe in angular momentum conservation are idiots," etc.  I just can't figure out where it's suddenly come from.  It's like a new form of
