Trig functions

simplethinker 24 Nov 2007 07:01

I've started to make pages for the trig functions and I have a few questions.
First, for links to the inverse functions I can't get the superscript -1. I was trying [[[sininv |sin^^-1^^(]]] but it still wasn't showing up (same goes for the titles for the pages). I also couldn't get the superscript r (radian symbol) into any of the code.

Second, how specific should the pages be? Right now they're linking to the mathworld pages, but I think I should put at least the unit circle definitions in, even though they don't have anything to do with programming.

Third, what should I set the parent page too? I don't see anything in the math commands for them.

Finally, I'm going to make pages for the degree symbol and superscript r, and I'm not sure what the name of the link should be. 'deg' and 'rad'?

1. Other tags don't work well inside code boxes. :(

4. Whatever you think is descriptive of the command/symbol is fine.

To answer the questions that Xphoenix left:

• A page should contain as much information about the command as possible, unless it is something that is beyond the scope of the command. In this case, a unit circle would probably be a good addition to the trig commands.
• For the present time, I would set the parent page to math. We can change it later as we get more commands done.
