NAME csc - trigonometric cosecant SYNOPSIS csc(x [,eps]) TYPES x number (real or complex) eps 0 < real < 1, defaults to epsilon() return real DESCRIPTION Calculate the trigonometric cosecant of x to a multiple of eps, with error less in absolute value than .75 * eps. This function is equivalent to: csc(x) = 1 / sin(x) EXAMPLE ; print csc(1/2), csc(5/7), csc(42/7) 2.08582964293348818577 1.52653601091884339347 -3.57889954725440563736 ; print csc(1, 1e-5), csc(1, 1e-10), csc(1, 1e-15), csc(1, 1e-20) 1.1884 1.1883951058 1.188395105778121 1.18839510577812121626 ; print csc(2 + 3i, 1e-5), csc(2 + 3i, 1e-10) ~0.09047318155450436310+~0.04120099965201690801i ~0.09047320975303232503+~0.04120098628887626238i ; pi = pi(1e-20) ; print csc(pi/6), csc(pi/2), csc(pi) 2 1 378303066284076833726.92240766640467212978 ; # NOTE: The huge value for csc(pi) is because pi, as calculated, is not exact.
