COMMENTS

arcsin(x) is usually written as x + x^3/(2*3) + 1*3*x^5/(2*4*5) + 1*3*5*x^7/(2*4*6*7) + ..., = x + 1/6*x^3 + 3/40*x^5 + 5/112*x^7 + 35/1152*x^9 + 63/2816*x^11 + ... when reduced to lowest terms.

arccos(x) = Pi/2 - (x + 1/6*x^3 + 3/40*x^5 + 5/112*x^7 + 35/1152*x^9 + 63/2816*x^11 + ...).

arccsc(x) = 1/x+1/(6*x^3)+3/(40*x^5)+5/(112*x^7)+35/(1152*x^9)+63/(2816*x^11)+...

arcsec(x) = Pi/2 -(1/x+1/(6*x^3)+3/(40*x^5)+5/(112*x^7)+35/(1152*x^9)+63/(2816*x^11)+...)

arcsinh(x) = x-1/6*x^3+3/40*x^5-5/112*x^7+35/1152*x^9-63/2816*x^11+...

arccsc(x) = arcsin(1/x) and arcsec(x) = arccos(1/x): 1 < |x|

arccsch(x) = arcsinh(1/x) for 1 < |x|

Also denominator of (2n-1)!! / ((2n+1)*(2n)!!) (n=>0).
