cos(
expression1
)
returns the cosine of the
argument as an expression.
cos(
list1
)
returns a list of the cosines of all
elements in
list1
.
Note: The argument is interpreted as either a
degree or radian angle, according to the
current angle mode setting. You can use
ó
or
ô
to override the angle mode
temporarily.

cos(
squareMatrix1
)
⇒
squareMatrix
Returns the matrix cosine of
squareMatrix1
.
This is
not
the same as calculating the cosine
of each element.
When a scalar function f(A) operates on
squareMatrix1
(A), the result is calculated by
the algorithm:
1. Compute the eigenvalues (
l
i
) and
eigenvectors (V
i
) of A.
squareMatrix1
must be diagonalizable.
Also, it cannot have symbolic variables
that have not been assigned a value.
2. Form the matrices:
B =
l

… 0

and X = [V

,V

, … ,V

]
3. Then A = X B X
ê
and f(A) = X f(B) X
ê
. For
example, cos(A) = X cos(B) X
ê
where:
cos (B) =
