=over =item cos EXPR X<cos> X<cosine> X<acos> X<arccosine> =item cos Returns the cosine of EXPR (expressed in radians). If EXPR is omitted, takes the cosine of L<C<$_>|perlvar/$_>. For the inverse cosine operation, you may use the L<C<Math::Trig::acos>|Math::Trig> function, or use this relation: sub acos { atan2( sqrt(1 - $_[0] * $_[0]), $_[0] ) } =back
