NAME
|
|
crd - trigonometric chord of a unit circle
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
crd(x [,eps])
|
|
|
|
TYPES
|
|
x number (real or complex)
|
|
eps 0 < real < 1, defaults to epsilon()
|
|
|
|
return number
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
Calculate length of unit circle chord with angle x to a multiple of eps with error less in
|
|
absolute value than .75 * eps.
|
|
|
|
A chord of a circle is a straight line segment whose endpoints lie on a arc of a circle.
|
|
A chord extended infinitely on both directions into a line would produce a secant line.
|
|
|
|
This function is sometimes called chord, is equivalent to:
|
|
|
|
crd(x) = 2 * sin(x / 2)
|
|
