[1] [10] Another precarious convention used by a small number of authors is to use an uppercase first letter, along with a “ −1 ” superscript: Sin −1 (x), Cos −1 (x), Tan −1 (x), etc. [11] Although it is intended to avoid confusion with the reciprocal, which should be represented by sin −1 (x), cos −1 (x), etc., or, better, by ...
Following this recommendation, the ISO 80000-2 standard abbreviations use the prefix ar-(that is: arsinh, arcosh, artanh, arsech, arcsch, arcoth). In computer programming languages, inverse circular and hyperbolic functions are often named with the shorter prefix a-(asinh, etc.). This article will consistently adopt the prefix ar-for convenience.
A formula for computing the trigonometric identities for the one-third angle exists, but it requires finding the zeroes of the cubic equation 4x 3 − 3x + d = 0, where is the value of the cosine function at the one-third angle and d is the known value of the cosine function at the full angle.
Some slide rules, such as the K&E Deci-Lon in the photo, calibrate to be accurate for radian conversion, at 5.73 degrees (off by nearly 0.4% for the tangent and 0.2% for the sine for angles around 5 degrees). Others are calibrated to 5.725 degrees, to balance the sine and tangent errors at below 0.3%.
The sides of this rhombus have length 1. The angle between the horizontal line and the shown diagonal is 1 / 2 (a + b).This is a geometric way to prove the particular tangent half-angle formula that says tan 1 / 2 (a + b) = (sin a + sin b) / (cos a + cos b).

One period (0 < θ < 2π) of a versine or, more commonly, a haversine (or havercosine) waveform is also commonly used in signal processing and control theory as the shape of a pulse or a window function (including Hann, Hann–Poisson and Tukey windows), because it smoothly (continuous in value and slope) "turns on" from zero to one (for ...
