numeric, numeric

 

acoth(X)

Returns the inverse hyperbolic cotangent of X.

   

arctan(X)

Returns the arctan (inverse tangent) of X. Same as atan(X).

   

asin(X)

Returns the arcsine of X. Result is in radians.

   

asinh(X)

Returns the inverse hyperbolic sine of X.

   

atan(X)

Returns a value in radians (range -pi/2 to pi/2), being the arctangent of X (the ratio of two sides of a right triangle). Same as arctan(X).
