Function name:
IMSIN

Category:
Add-in

Summary:
Calculates the trigonometric sine of a complex number.

Syntax:
IMSIN(ComplexNumber)

Returns:
Returns a text string giving the complex number that is the sine 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 sine 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 IMSIN as a number rather than a string.
 * If ComplexNumber is not a valid complex number, IMSIN reports an invalid argument error (Err:502).

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