cos

Computes the cosine of an angle in radians.

Nerdamer returns exact symbolic values for common rational multiples of pi, simplifies cosine's even symmetry, and evaluates supported inverse-trigonometric compositions.

Examples

These examples use Nerdamer Notation.

Use an exact special angle.

cos(pi/3)
// → 1/2

Keep a symbolic angle.

cos(x)
