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
