NAME
|
|
asin - inverse trigonometric sine
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
asin(x [,eps])
|
|
|
|
TYPES
|
|
x number (real or complex)
|
|
eps 0 < real < 1, defaults to epsilon()
|
|
|
|
return real
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
Returns the inverse trigonometric sine of x to a multiple of eps with error less in
|
|
absolute value than .75 * eps.
|
|
|
|
This function is sometimes called arcsin.
