arccot

Inverse cotangent function

Arccot is the inverse cotangent function in trigonometry—given a ratio, it returns the angle whose cotangent equals that ratio.

Also written as cot⁻¹ or arccotan.

Like other inverse trigonometric functions, arccot appears primarily in calculus and engineering contexts: The arccot of 1 is π/4 radians.
