TAN()

Tangent of the argument

Syntax

      TAN( nRadiant ) -> nTangent

Arguments

<nRadiant> an angle size given in radiants

Returns

<nTangent> the tangent of <nRadiant>

Description

The function TAN() calculates the tangent of an angle whose size is given in radiants (full angle equals 2*Pi – see DTOR() for angle size given in degress). A common geometric interpretation of the TAN() function is the counterkathede-ankathede-ratio of a right-angled triangle, or, tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x).

Examples

      ? tan( 0.0 ) // --> 0.0
      ? tan( 1.0 ) // --> 1.5574...

Tests

      tan( 0.0 ) == 0.0
      tan( PI() / 4 ) == 1
      tan( PI() ) == 0.0

Compliance

TAN() is compatible with CT3’s TAN().

SINH()

SINH()

Hyperbolic Sine of the argument

Syntax

      SINH( nArea ) -> nHyperbolicSine

Arguments

<nArea> the size of the area (see below)

Returns

<nHyperbolicSine> the hyperbolic sine of <nArea>

Description

The function SINH() calculates the hyperbolic sine of the argument. In analytical mathematics it is defined as 1/2*(exp(nArea)-exp(-nArea)). A common geometric interpretation of the SINH() function is the maximum y value of the points in the area with the given size <nArea>, that is bound by the x axis, a straight line through the point of origin (this one is fixed by the area) and the hyperbola xˆ2-yˆ2=1.

Examples

      ? sinh( 0.0 ) // --> 0.0
      ? sinh( 1.0 ) // --> 1.1752...

Tests

      sinh( 0.0 ) == 0.0
      sinh( -0.5 ) == -sinh( 0.5 )

PI()

PI()

Returns Pi, the perimeter-to-diameter-ratio of a circle

Syntax

      PI() -> nPi

Returns

<nPi> the math constant Pi with maximum precision available

Description

The function PI() can be used if the constant Pi is needed with maximum precision. One of the most known interpretations of this number is the constant perimeter-to-diameter-ratio of circles.

Examples

      // the diameter of a circle-like swimming pool is 3.4 meters, how
      // long is the perimeter ?

      ? Str( PI() * 3.4, 5, 3 ) + " meters" // --> 10.681 meters

Description

The function COT() calculates the cotangent of an angle whose size is given in radiants (full angle equals 2*Pi – see DTOR() for angle size given in degress). A common geometric interpretation of the COT() function is the ankathede-counterkathede-ratio of a right-angled triangle, or, cot(x) = cos(x)/sin(x)=1/tan(x).

Examples

      ? cot( 1.0 ) // --> 0.6420...

ATN2()

Posted on by vivaclipper

ATN2()

Arcus tangent a sine and a cosine argument

Syntax

      ATN2( nSine, nCosine ) -> nRadiant

Arguments

<nSine> the sine of an angle <nCosine> the cosine of an angle

Returns

<nRadiant> the angle whose tangent is <nSine>/<nCosine>

Description

The function ATN2() is an alternate function for calculating the arcus tangent, atn2(x, y) = atan(x/y). It takes two arguments, the sine and the cosine of the angle that should be calculated. Thus, in contrast to the ATAN() function, ATN2() can distinguish whether the sine or the cosine has a negative sign (or both being positive or negative), so that the return value can be between -PI() and PI() and covers the full angle. The return value is given in radiants (full angle equals 2*Pi – see DTOR() if you need to convert it into degress).

Examples

      ? atn2( 0.0, 1.0 ) // --> 0.0
      ? atn2( sqrt( 1 / 2 ), sqrt( 1 / 2 ) ) // --> PI() / 4

Tests

      atn2( 0.0, 1.0 ) == 0.0
      atn2( sqrt( 1 / 2 ), sqrt( 1 / 2 ) ) == PI() / 4
      atn2( -sqrt( 1 / 2 ), -sqrt( 1 / 2 ) ) == -3 / 4 * PI()  // atan() would return PI() / 4 !

Compliance

ATN2() is compatible with CT3’s ATN2().
