Thanks.

I used the calculator program on my WinXP to counter check with my Java App. It is exactly correct. Only for 90 and 270 degrees. I also had converted them to radians.

And also, math.cos() method do not include terms if I am not wrong?

What if I want to write my own cosine formula that include a user-defined number of terms? Rewrite the formula into a java language? Solve the maths equation yourself?

can math.cos() do that?

But they're less obviously wrong unless you know what to expect. Do you know the exact cosine of every angle to 10 decimal places without looking them up?
