Ted Dunning commented on MAHOUT-45:
-----------------------------------


Not trig functions are need for Given's method.  The coefficients are indeed 
sines and cosines of a theoretical rotation angle, but you needn't ever compute 
the angle since you can compute the coefficients directly.

See http://www.cse.uiuc.edu/courses/cs554/notes/ for a good exposition, 
especially section 11.  Golub and van Loan's Matrix computation is also an 
excellent description.

Also, it is common to not actually construct the Q matrix explicitly.
