.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Sin, cos
and
.I tan
return trigonometric functions of radian arguments.
The magnitude of the argument should be checked
by the caller to make sure the result is meaningful.
.PP
.I Asin
returns the arc sine in the range
\-π/2 to π/2.
.PP
.I Acos
returns the arc cosine in the range
0 to π.
.PP
.I Atan
returns the arc tangent in the range
\-π/2 to π/2.
.PP
.I Atan2
returns the arc tangent of
.I y/x
in the range
\-π to π.

.SH BUGS
The value of
.I tan
for arguments greater than about
.if t 2\u\s-231\s+2\d
.if n 2^31
is garbage.
