Cotangent

The cotan trigonometric function to calculate the cotan of an angle in radians, degrees or gradians.


Cotangent function

The trigonometric function cotangent noted cotan, is a cotangent calculator, it allows online calculation of the cotangent of an angle, it is possible to use different angular units : degrees, gradians or radians wich is the default angular unit .
The cotangent is the inverse of the tangent : `cotan(x)=1/tan(x)` .
