@samp{[@var{cos}, @var{sin}]}.
With the Inverse flag [@code{arcsincos}], this command takes a two-element
vector as an argument and computes @code{arctan2} of the elements.
(This command does not accept the Hyperbolic flag.)

Trigonometric functions are simplified in several ways.  First,
@expr{@tfn{sin}(@tfn{arcsin}(x))} is simplified to @expr{x}, and
similarly for @code{cos} and @code{tan}.  If the argument to
@code{sin} is negative-looking, it is simplified to 
@expr{-@tfn{sin}(x),},  and similarly for @code{cos} and @code{tan}.
Finally, certain special values of the argument are recognized;
@pxref{Trigonometric and Hyperbolic Functions}.

Trigonometric functions of inverses of different trigonometric
functions can also be simplified, as in @expr{@tfn{sin}(@tfn{arccos}(x))}
to @expr{@tfn{sqrt}(1 - x^2)}.

Hyperbolic functions of their inverses and of negative-looking
arguments are also handled, as are exponentials of inverse
hyperbolic functions.

The remaining trigonometric functions, @code{calc-sec} [@code{sec}],
@code{calc-csc} [@code{csc}] and @code{calc-sec} [@code{sec}], are also
available.  With the Hyperbolic flag, these compute their hyperbolic
counterparts, which are also available separately as @code{calc-sech}
[@code{sech}], @code{calc-csch} [@code{csch}] and @code{calc-sech}
[@code{sech}].  (These commmands do not accept the Inverse flag.)

Trigonometric functions are simplified in several ways.  Whenever a
products of two trigonometric functions can be replaced by a single
function, the replacement is made; for example,
@expr{@tfn{tan}(x) @tfn{cos}(x)} is simplified to @expr{@tfn{sin}(x)}. 
Reciprocals of trigonometric functions are replaced by their reciprocal
function; for example, @expr{1/@tfn{sec}(x)} is simplified to
@expr{@tfn{cos}(x)}.  The corresponding simplifications for the
hyperbolic functions are also handled.

Trigonometric functions of their inverse functions are
simplified. The expression @expr{@tfn{sin}(@tfn{arcsin}(x))} is
simplified to @expr{x}, and similarly for @code{cos} and @code{tan}.  
Trigonometric functions of inverses of different trigonometric
functions can also be simplified, as in @expr{@tfn{sin}(@tfn{arccos}(x))}
to @expr{@tfn{sqrt}(1 - x^2)}.

If the argument to @code{sin} is negative-looking, it is simplified to
@expr{-@tfn{sin}(x)}, and similarly for @code{cos} and @code{tan}.
Finally, certain special values of the argument are recognized;
@pxref{Trigonometric and Hyperbolic Functions}.

Hyperbolic functions of their inverses and of negative-looking
arguments are also handled, as are exponentials of inverse
hyperbolic functions.
