cosine vs cosign cosine - a mathematical term; Not to be confused with: cosign – to sign a document jointly with another; to endorse, as for a mortgage

The six trig functions are named sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant. Many people confuse the spoken word sine with sign — you can’t really tell the difference when you hear it unless you’re careful with the context. You can “go off on a tangent” in some personal dealings, but that phrase has a whole different meaning in trig.

Cosigning a loan isn’t what trig has in mind, either. The other three ratios are special to trig speak — you can’t confuse them with anything else.

Tak właśnie i to trzy razy. Książka poważna i wydawnictwo poważne, a wygląda jak błąd. Innego wyjścia chyba nie ma.

W książce tak to zapisano?

cosinus/kosinus

I think the man means cosine, a trigonometric function, apparently the solution to the differential equation.

cosinus (lub kosinus)
