Description prandini 2002-10-03 21:57:39 UTC 
The help on the function cos in the Calc gives examples such as
"The angle 6.28 (2Pi)returns a cosine of 1 radian." This is incorrect.
The cosine of an angle, which is measured in radians, returns
a dimensionless number, hence it should have been written as
"The angle 6.28 (2Pi) radians returns a cosine of 1."

Win98 Build 643: I can not find the help file information you refer to

Mandrake 9.0 Version 1.0.1: I can not find the help file information
you refer to.

Please could you provide a step by step description of how to get to
the help page you describe.  Thanks.

Comment 3 Uwe Fischer 2003-03-17 10:08:09 UTC 
changed the file scalc/01/04060106, deleted "radians" and some garbage
example text lines. Meaningful examples will be re-entered as soon as
possible.
