MathTrigonometric 1.1.0

Math Trigonometric Functions in .NET

Overview

This C# library provides implementations of all standard trigonometric functions, including basic functions like sine, cosine, and tangent, as well as their hyperbolic counterparts, inverse functions, and more. This library is designed to offer a comprehensive set of tools for mathematical, engineering, and scientific applications requiring trigonometric calculations.

Missing Trigonometric Functions in .NET

The .NET includes basic trigonometric functions (sin, cos, tan, asin, acos, atan) and their hyperbolic counterparts (sinh, cosh, tanh, asinh, acosh, atanh) in the Math class. However, the following trigonometric functions are missing in .NET and are implemented in this library:

1. Cot (Cotangent)
2. Sec (Secant)
3. Csc (Cosecant)
4. Acot (Inverse Cotangent)
5. Asec (Inverse Secant)
6. Acsc (Inverse Cosecant)
7. Coth (Hyperbolic Cotangent)
8. Sech (Hyperbolic Secant)
9. Csch (Hyperbolic Cosecant)
10. Acoth (Inverse Hyperbolic Cotangent)
11. Asech (Inverse Hyperbolic Secant)
12. Acsch (Inverse Hyperbolic Cosecant)

You can find a detailed explanation of the implementation and approach in my article on Medium.
