<br>
Is there any reason why the cotangent function is called cotg in
Scilab, instead of cot, being cot a Matlab replacement, while the
hyerbolic cotangent is called coth?<br>
<br>
I wonder why this function doesn't follow the tacit rule that
trigonometric functions are notated with three-letter names and is
somewhat inconsistent also with the names used for the hypebolic
versions.<br>
<br>
If there is some difference in the result of Scilab and Matlab
cotangent, probably the Matlab replacement should be called mtlb_</font><font

something like that.<br>
