DESCRIPTION

18       The  casin()  function  calculates  the  complex  arc  sine  of  z.  If
19       y = casin(z), then z = csin(y).  The real part of y is  chosen  in  the
20       interval [-pi/2,pi/2].
21
22       One has:
23
24           casin(z) = -i clog(iz + csqrt(1 - z * z))
25

VERSIONS

27       These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
