NAME sec - trigonometric secant function SYNOPSIS sec(x [,eps]) TYPES x real eps 0 < real < 1, defaults to epsilon() return real DESCRIPTION Calculate the secant of x to a multiple of eps, with error less in absolute value than .75 * eps. EXAMPLE ; print sec(1, 1e-5), sec(1, 1e-10), sec(1, 1e-15), sec(1, 1e-20) 1.85082 1.8508157177 1.850815717680926 1.85081571768092561791 LIMITS unlike sin and cos, x must be real 0 < eps < 1 LINK LIBRARY NUMBER *qsec(NUMBER *x, NUMBER *eps) SEE ALSO sin, cos, tan, csc, cot, epsilon ## Copyright (C) 1999,2023 Landon Curt Noll ## ## Calc is open software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under ## the terms of the version 2.1 of the GNU Lesser General Public License ## as published by the Free Software Foundation. ## ## Calc is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ## ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY ## or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
