inverse secant
Inverse secant (also known as arcsecant or sec^-1) is a trigonometric function that finds the angle whose secant is a given value. In mathematical terms, if y = sec(x), then the arcsecant of y, or sec^-1(y) = x for -π/2 ≤ x ≤ π/2. It is the reciprocal function of the secant, meaning it undoes the action of the secant function and returns the angle in the initial function. Most calculators or software will return the result in the principal interval [0, π] or [-π/2, π/2] depending on the sign of the input.
