NAME
    ahavercos - inverse half versed trigonometric cosine

SYNOPSIS
    ahavercos(x [,eps])

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

    return	real

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

    This function is sometimes called ahaverc, or archavercos, or archavercosine, is equivalent to:

	ahavercos(x) = acos(2*x - 1)
