SYNOPSIS
acot(x [,eps])
TYPES
x real
eps nonzero real, defaults to epsilon()
return real
DESCRIPTION
Returns the acot of x to a multiple of eps with error less in
absolute value than .75 * eps.
v = acot(x) is the number in (0, pi) for which cot(v) = x.
EXAMPLE
> print acot(2, 1e-5), acot(2, 1e-10), acot(2, 1e-15), acot(2, 1e-20)
.46365 .463647609 .463647609000806 .46364760900080611621
LIMITS
unlike sin and cos, x must be real
eps > 0
LIBRARY
NUMBER *qacot(NUMBER *x, NUMBER *eps)
