This function returns the complex arcsine of the complex number z, \arcsin(z). The branch cuts are on the real axis, less than -1 and greater than 1.
This function returns the complex arcsine of the real number z, \arcsin(z). For z between -1 and 1, the function returns a real value in the range [-\pi/2,\pi/2]. For z less than -1 the result has a real part of -\pi/2 and a positive imaginary part. For z greater than 1 the result has a real part of \pi/2 and a negative imaginary part.
This function returns the complex arccosine of the complex number z, \arccos(z). The branch cuts are on the real axis, less than -1 and greater than 1.
This function returns the complex arccosine of the real number z, \arccos(z). For z between -1 and 1, the function returns a real value in the range [0,\pi]. For z less than -1 the result has a real part of \pi and a negative imaginary part. For z greater than 1 the result is purely imaginary and positive.
This function returns the complex arctangent of the complex number z, \arctan(z). The branch cuts are on the imaginary axis, below -i and above i.
This function returns the complex arcsecant of the complex number z, \arcsec(z) = \arccos(1/z).
This function returns the complex arcsecant of the real number z, \arcsec(z) = \arccos(1/z).
This function returns the complex arccosecant of the complex number z, \arccsc(z) = \arcsin(1/z).
