NAME acsc - inverse trigonometric cosecant SYNOPSIS acsc(x [,eps]) TYPES x real, with absolute value >= 1 eps nonzero real, defaults to epsilon() return real DESCRIPTION Returns the acsc of x to a multiple of eps with error less in absolute value than .75 * eps. v = acsc(x) is the number in [-pi/2, pi/2] for which csc(v) = x.
