## Description

The math::trig package defines a set of trigonomic and hyperbolic functions and their inverses. In addition it defines versions of the trigonomic functions that take arguments in degrees instead of radians.

For easy use these functions may be imported into the tcl::mathfunc namespace, so that they can be used directly in the expr command.

## FUNCTIONS

The functions radian_reduced and degree_reduced return a reduced angle, in respectively radians and degrees, in the intervals [0, 2pi) and [0, 360):

::math::trig::radian_reduced angle

  Return the equivalent angle in the interval [0, 2pi).

  float angle

    Angle (in radians)

::math::trig::degree_reduced angle

  Return the equivalent angle in the interval [0, 360).

  float angle

    Angle (in degrees)

The following trigonomic functions are defined in addition to the ones defined in the expr command:

::math::trig::cosec angle

  Calculate the cosecant of the angle (1/cos(angle))

  float angle

    Angle (in radians)

::math::trig::sec angle

  Calculate the secant of the angle (1/sin(angle))

  float angle

    Angle (in radians)

::math::trig::cotan angle

  Calculate the cotangent of the angle (1/tan(angle))

  float angle

    Angle (in radians)

For these functions also the inverses are defined:
