8.108 Math::Trig

Defines many trigonometric functions not defined by the core Perl, plus the constant pi and some additional functions for converting angles. For example:

use Math::Trig;
            
$x = tan(0.9);
$halfpi = pi/2;

The following functions are defined. A slash ( / ) between two functions means the values are aliases.

acsc/acosec , asec , acot/acotan

Arcus cofunctions of sine, cosine, and tangent

acsch/acosech , asech , acoth/acotanh

Arcus cofunctions of hyperbolic sine, cosine, and tangent

asin , acos , atan

Arcus (inverse) functions of sine, cosine, and tangent

asinh , acosh , atanh
