NAME polar - specify a complex number by modulus (radius) and argument (angle) SYNOPSIS polar(r, t [, eps]) TYPES r real t real eps nonzero real, defaults to epsilon() return number (real or complex) DESCRIPTION Returns the real or complex number with real and imaginary parts multiples of epps nearest or next to nearest to r * cos(t) and r * sin(t) respectively. The error for each part will be less than 0.75 * abs(eps), but usually less than 0.5 * abs(eps).
