DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The sin(), sinf(), and sinl() functions compute  the  sine
       of x, measured in radians.

       The  sind(),  sindf(),  and  sindl() functions compute the
       sine of x, measured in degrees.

       The cos(), cosf(), and cosl() functions compute the cosine
       of x, measured in radians.

       The  cosd(),  cosdf(),  and  cosdl() functions compute the
       cosine of x, measured in degrees.

       The tan(), tanf(), and tanl() functions compute  the  tangent
 of x, measured in radians.

       The  tand(),  tandf(),  and  tandl() functions compute the
       tangent of x, measured in degrees.

       The cot(), cotf(), and cotl() functions compute the cotangent
 of x, measured in radians.

       The  cotd(),  cotdf(),  and  cotdl() functions compute the
       cotangent of x, measured in degrees.

       The asin(), asinf(), and  asinl()  functions  compute  the
       principal  value  of  the  arc  sine  of x in the interval
       [-pi/2,pi/2] radians. The value of x must be in the domain
       [-1,1].

       The  asind(), asindf(), and asindl() functions compute the
       principal value of the arc  sine  of  x  in  the  interval
       [-90,90]  degrees.  The  value  of x must be in the domain
       [-1,1].

       The acos(), acosf(), and  acosl()  functions  compute  the
       principal  value  of  the  arc cosine of x in the interval
       [0,pi] radians. The value of  x  must  be  in  the  domain
       [-1,1].

       The  acosd(), acosdf(), and acosdl() functions compute the
       principal value of the arc cosine of  x  in  the  interval
       [0,180]  degrees.  The  value  of  x must be in the domain
       [-1,1].

       The atan(), atanf(), and  atanl()  functions  compute  the
       principal  value  of  the arc tangent of x in the interval
       [-pi/2,pi/2] radians.

       The atand(), atandf(), and atandl() functions compute  the
       principal  value  of  the arc tangent of x in the interval
       [-90,90] degrees.

       The atan2(), atan2f(), and atan2l() functions compute  the
       principal value of the arc tangent of y/x, in the interval
       [-pi,pi] radians. The sign of atan2 and atan2f  is  determined
  by  the  sign of y. The value of atan2(y,x) is computed
 as follows where f is the number  of  fraction  bits
       associated with the data type.

       Value of Input Arguments               Angle Returned
       -----------------------------------------------------------------
       x = 0 or y/x > 2**(f+1)                pi/2 * (sign y)
       x > 0 and y/x <= 2**(f+1)              atan(y/x)
       x < 0 and y/x <= 2**(f+1)              pi * (sign y) + atan(y/x)
       -----------------------------------------------------------------

       The  atand2(),  atand2f(), and atand2l() functions compute
       the principal value of the  arc  tangent  of  y/x  in  the
       interval  [-180,180]  degrees.  The  sign  of atand2() and
       atand2f() is determined by the sign of y.

       response to exceptional arguments:
