Improved trig help files. Added new vercos(x, [,eps]) for versed cosine and covercos(x, [,eps]) for inverse versed cosine. Added new avercos(x, [,eps]) for inverse versed cosine and acovercos(x, [,eps]) for inverse coversed cosine.

NAME
|
|
acos - inverse trigonometric cosine
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
acos(x [,eps])
|
|
|
|
TYPES
|
|
x number (real or complex)
|
|
eps 0 < real < 1, defaults to epsilon()
|
|
|
|
return real
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
Returns the inverse cosine of x to a multiple of eps with error less in
|
|
absolute value than .75 * eps.
|
|
|
|
v = acos(x) is the number in [0, pi] for which cos(v) = x.
