Function name:
IMCSC

Category:
Add-in

Summary:
Calculates the trigonometric cosecant of a complex number. The cosecant is the reciprocal of the sine.

Syntax:
IMCSC(ComplexNumber)

Returns:
Returns a text string giving the complex number that is the cosecant of the complex number passed as argument.

Arguments:
ComplexNumber is a string (in quotation marks) representing a complex number in the form a+bi or a+bj, or a reference to a cell containing that string, whose cosecant is to be determined. a and b are real numbers.


 * If ComplexNumber does not have an imaginary part (b equal to 0), the real part can be passed to IMCSC as a number rather than a string.
 * If ComplexNumber is not a valid complex number, IMCSC reports an invalid argument error (Err:502).

Details specific to IMCSC function
For a complex number of the form a+bi, IMCSC implements the following equation: However, IMCSC determines if b=0 and in this case simply returns 1/sin(a).
