NAME versin - versed trigonometric sine SYNOPSIS versin(x [,eps]) TYPES x number (real or complex) eps 0 < real < 1, defaults to epsilon() return number DESCRIPTION Calculate the versed trigonometric sine of x to a multiple of eps with error less in absolute value than .75 * eps. This function is sometimes called vers, is equivalent to: versin(x) = 1 - cos(x) EXAMPLE ; print versin(0.2), versin(3/7), versin(-31) 0.01993342215875836888 0.09043964832583332597 0.08525764219546872104 ; print versin(1, 1e-5), versin(1, 1e-10), versin(1, 1e-15), versin(1, 1e-20) 0.4597 0.4596976941 0.45969769413186 0.4596976941318602826 ; print versin(2 + 3i, 1e-5), versin(2 + 3i, 1e-10) 5.18963+9.10923i 5.189625691+9.1092278938i ; pi = pi(1e-20) ; print versin(pi/3, 1e-10), versin(pi/2, 1e-10), versin(pi, 1e-10), versin(3*pi/2, 1e-10) 0.5 1 2 1 LIMITS 0 < eps < 1 LINK LIBRARY NUMBER *qversin(NUMBER *x, NUMBER *eps) COMPLEX *c_versin(COMPLEX *x, NUMBER *eps) SEE ALSO sin, cos, tan, cot, sec, csc asin, acos, atan, acot, asec, acsc versin, coversin, vercos, avercos aversin, acoversin, covercos, acovercos 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.
