Abstract: In this paper, we show that the problem of computing the complex roots of unity is not as simple as it seems at first. In particular, the formulas given in a standard programmer's reference book [Knuth, Seminumerical Algorithms, 1981] are shown to be numerically unstable, giving unacceptably large error for moderate sized sequences. We give alternative formulas, which we show to be superior both by analysis and experiment. (Update)
