cos

angle

or

cos (

expression

)

Returns the cosine of angle or expression, which can be
real or complex.

An angle is interpreted as degrees or radians according
to the current angle mode. In any angle mode, you can
designate an angle as degrees or radians by using the

¡

or

r

designator, respectively, from the

MATH ANGLE

menu.

The squareMatrix cannot
have repeated
eigenvalues.

cos

list

Returns a list in which each element is the cosine of the
corresponding element in list.

cos

squareMatrix

Returns a square matrix that is the matrix cosine of
squareMatrix

. The matrix cosine corresponds to the

result calculated using power series or Cayley-Hamilton
Theorem techniques. This is not the same as simply
calculating the cosine of each element.
