# cosm1
|
||
|
|
||
|
> Compute `cos(x) - 1`.
|

|

<section class="usage">

||
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var cosm1 = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/cosm1' );
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### cosm1( x )
|
||
|
|
||
|
Computes `cos(x) - 1`, where `cos` is the [cosine][@stdlib/math/base/special/cos] of a `number` (in radians). This function should be used instead of manually calculating `cos(x) - 1` when the argument is near unity.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var PI = require( '@stdlib/constants/float64/pi' );
|
||
|
|
||
|
var v = cosm1( 0.0 );
|
||
|
// returns 0.0
|
||
|
|
||
|
v = cosm1( PI/4.0 );
|
||
|
// returns ~-0.293
|
||
|
|
||
|
v = cosm1( -PI/6.0 );
|
||
|
// returns ~-0.134
|
||
|
|
||
|
v = cosm1( NaN );
|
||
|
// returns NaN
|
||
|
```
