Trigonometric functions

Circular functions

The prefix arc used for inverse circular trigonometric functions is the abbreviation for arcus.

Symbol LaTeX Comment
sin\sin \sin sine
arcsin\arcsin \arcsin arcsine
csc\csc \csc cosecant 1/sin x
arccsc\operatorname{arccsc} \operatorname{arccsc} arccosecant
cos\cos \cos cosine
arccos\arccos \arccos arccosine
sec\sec \sec secant
arcsec\operatorname{arcsec} \operatorname {arcsec} arcsecant
tan\tan \tan tangent
arctan\arctan \arctan arctangent
cot\cot \cot cotangent
arccot\operatorname{arccot} \operatorname {arccot} arccotangent
 ~

Hyperbolic functions

The abbreviations arcsinh, arccosh, etc., are commonly used for inverse hyperbolic trigonometric functions (area hyperbolic functions), even though they are misnomers, since the prefix arc is the abbreviation for arcus, while the prefix ar stands for area.
