LETTERasinULETTER The Arcsine function.

Overview
#include <math.h>

r = asin(x)

double r; // result
double x; // angle

Portability
ANSI

Description
The arcsine routine is the opposite to the sinus (x = asin(sin(x))). Because the sinus is a periodic function it is constrained as [-PI/2,PI/2].

Note
Of course all trigonometric functions require the angle be expressed in radians. Pass the angle "w" expressed in degrees to
x = PI/180 * w
to receive its equivalent in radians in "x".
