CscDegrees [θ]

gives the cosecant of degrees.

Details

  • CscDegrees and other trigonometric functions are studied in high-school geometry courses and are also used in many scientific disciplines.
  • The argument of CscDegrees is assumed to be in degrees.
  • CscDegrees of angle is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse of a right triangle:
  • CscDegrees is related to SinDegrees by the identity TemplateBox[{x}, CscDegrees]=1/(TemplateBox[{x}, SinDegrees]).
  • For certain special arguments, CscDegrees automatically evaluates to exact values.
  • CscDegrees can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision.
  • CscDegrees automatically threads over lists.
  • CscDegrees can be used with Interval , CenteredInterval and Around objects.
  • Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
