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.

In Degree angle mode:

cos((

p/4)ô ) ¸

cos({0,60,90}) ¸ {1 1/2 0}

In Radian angle mode:

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

and X = [V

3. Then A = X B Xê and f(A) = X f(B) Xê. For

example, cos(A) = X cos(B) Xê where:

cos (B) =
