NAME
    vercos - versed trigonometric cosine

SYNOPSIS
    vercos(x [,eps])

TYPES
    x		number (real or complex)
    eps		0 < real < 1, defaults to epsilon()

    return	number

DESCRIPTION
    Calculate the versed trigonometric cosine of x to a multiple of eps with error less in
    absolute value than .75 * eps.

    This function is sometimes called verc, or vercosin, is equivalent to:

	vercos(x) = 1 + cos(x)

EXAMPLE
    ; print vercos(1/2), vercos(5/7), vercos(42/7)
    1.87758256189037271612 1.75556134670069659847 1.96017028665036602055

    ; print vercos(1, 1e-5), vercos(1, 1e-10), vercos(1, 1e-15), vercos(1, 1e-20)
    1.5403 1.5403023059 1.54030230586814 1.5403023058681397174

    ; print vercos(2 + 3i, 1e-5), vercos(2 + 3i, 1e-10)
    -3.18963-9.10923i -3.189625691-9.1092278938i

    ; pi = pi(1e-20)
    ; print vercos(pi/6), vercos(pi/2), vercos(pi)
    1.86602540378443864676 1 0

LIMITS
