    <font face="Courier New">Dear all,<br>
      <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
      face="Courier New"><font face="Courier New">cot,</font> or
      something like that.<br>
      <br>
      Regards,<br>
