NAME
|
|
sin - trigonometric sine
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
sin(x [,eps])
|
|
|
|
TYPES
|
|
x number (real or complex)
|
|
eps nonzero real, defaults to epsilon()
|
|
|
|
return number
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
Calculate the sine of x to a multiple of eps with error less in
|
|
absolute value than .75 * eps.
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
|
> print sin(1, 1e-5), sin(1, 1e-10), sin(1, 1e-15), sin(1, 1e-20)
