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
|
|
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)
