<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 </font></blockquote>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>There is no such rule, even tacit. Shortness is much weaker than
clarity, and to me cot is really unclear (and too short).</p>
<p>The shorter are reserved keywords, the more probable are
conflicts with custom current variables. So this "g" is welcome.</p>
