cotan
The cotangent (often abbreviated as cotan or cot) of an angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the length of the adjacent side to the length of the opposite side. In mathematical terms, cotan(θ) = 1/tan(θ). It is also the reciprocal of the tangent. In the unit circle, it's the x-coordinate of the point on the unit circle that's intersected by a line through the origin making an angle θ with the positive x-axis, when this point is as far from the origin as the y-coordinate of the point.
