asec
Inverse secant; result in radians
Syntax
Y = asec(X)
Description
Y = asec(X) returns the inverse secant (arcsecant) for each element of X.
The asec function operates element-wise on arrays. The function's domains and ranges include complex values. All angles are in radians.
Examples
Graph the inverse secant over the domains 1<=x<=5 and -5<=x<=1.
x1 = -5:0.01:-1;
x2 = 1:0.01:5;
plot(x1,asec(x1),x2,asec(x2)), grid on
Definition
The inverse secant can be defined as
sec^(-1)(z)=cos^(-1)(1./z)
Algorithm
asec uses FDLIBM, which was developed at SunSoft, a Sun Microsystems, Inc. business, by Kwok C. Ng, and others. For information about FDLIBM, see http://www.netlib.org.

Frog Killer Caught in the Act
A killer has been caught in the act: the first before-and-after view of an infectious disease that led to an amphibian die-off has been released by the scientists who tracked it. The results are published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Like a wave, incidence of the fungal disease that wipes out Central American frogs--chytridiomycosis--advances through the region's highlands at a rate of about 30 kilometers ...
