The only use I now for them is when you need to plot the sine of a sine. Or possibly to calculate the frequency spectrum of this.
Ie x = a.sin( b.sin( y ) ) This is fundamental to Frequency Modulation. I don't know if they apply anywhere else ?

I have never used them, in 40 years of wide-ranging experience in the scientific computing arena!
