NAME aversin - inverse versed trigonometric sine SYNOPSIS aversin(x [,eps]) TYPES x number (real or complex) eps 0 < real < 1, defaults to epsilon() return real DESCRIPTION Returns the inverse versed trigonometric sine of x to a multiple of eps with error less in absolute value than .75 * eps. This function is sometimes called avers, or arcversin, is equivalent to: aversin(x) = acos(1 - x) EXAMPLE ; print aversin(0), aversin(0.5), aversin(1) 0 1.04719755119659774615 1.57079632679489661923 ; print aversin(-0.5), aversin(-1) 0.96242365011920689498i 1.31695789692481670863i ; print aversin(.5, 1e-5), aversin(.5, 1e-10), aversin(.5, 1e-15), aversin(.5, 1e-20) 1.0472 1.0471975512 1.047197551196598 1.04719755119659774615 ; print aversin(5), aversin(5i) 3.14159265358979323846-2.06343706889556054673i 1.37700319023996442947+2.33097465304931241742i ; print aversin(5+5i) 2.23961290212082390892+2.55132162547569885882i ; pi = pi(1e-20) ; print aversin(pi/6), aversin(pi/3), aversin(4*pi/3) 1.07423928334711836378 1.61801141852728010475 3.14159265358979323846-1.82724307729474887791i LIMITS 0 < eps < 1 LINK LIBRARY NUMBER *qaversin_or_NULL(NUMBER *q, NUMBER *epsilon); NUMBER *qaversin(NUMBER *q, NUMBER *epsilon); COMPLEX *c_aversin(COMPLEX *c, NUMBER *epsilon); SEE ALSO sin, cos, tan, cot, sec, csc asin, acos, atan, acot, asec, acsc versin, coversin, vercos, covercos acoversin, avercos, acovercos haversin, hacoversin, havercos, hacovercos ahaversin, hacoversin, havercos, ahacovercos epsilon ## Copyright (C) 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.
