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(.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(0), aversin(-5), aversin(2 + 3i) 0 2.47788873028847500485i 1.87839997632560786916+1.86416154415788242831i 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 acoversin 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.
