Function: acos
Section: transcendental
C-Name: gacos
Prototype: Gp
Help: acos(x): arc cosine of x.
Doc: principal branch of $\cos^{-1}(x) = -i \log (x + i\sqrt{1-x^{2}})$.
 In particular, $\Re(\text{acos}(x))\in [0,\pi]$ and if $x\in \R$ and $|x|>1$,
 then $\text{acos}(x)$ is complex. The branch cut is in two pieces:
 $]-\infty,-1]$ , continuous with quadrant II, and $[1,+\infty[$, continuous
 with quadrant IV. We have $\text{acos}(x) = \pi/2 - \text{asin}(x)$ for all
 $x$.
