CSC function

Cosecant function. CSC(x) returns the cosecant of x. The argument x must be expressed in radians. To convert degrees to radians you use the RADIANS function. The function is undefined when x = nπ for any integer n (i.e. when sin(x) = 0).

The cosecant is the reciprocal of the sine:

$$ \operatorname{csc}(x) = \frac{1}{\operatorname{sin}(x)} $$

The argument x can be a real number or a matrix. When it is a matrix, the function returns a matrix with the same dimensions and with the CSC function applied to all elements.

Examples

CSC(PI/6) equals 2

CSC(PI/2) equals 1

CSC(RADIANS(30)) equals 2
