## Detailed Description

Mathematical functions needed by GeographicLib.

Define mathematical functions in order to localize system dependencies and to provide generic versions of the functions. In addition define a real type to be used by GeographicLib.

Example of use:

// Example of using the GeographicLib::Math class
#include <iostream>
#include <exception>
#include <GeographicLib/Math.hpp>
using namespace std;
using namespace GeographicLib;
int main() {
try {
cout << Math::pi() << " " << Math::sq(Math::pi()) << "\n";
}
catch (const exception& e) {
cerr << "Caught exception: " << e.what() << "\n";
return 1;
}
}

## ◆ AngDiff() [1/2]

Parameters

  [in] | x | the first angle in degrees.

## ◆ AngDiff() [2/2]

T GeographicLib::Math::AngDiff | ( | T | x,
|  | T | y )
| inlinestatic

Difference of two angles reduced to [−180°, 180°]

Template Parameters

  T | the type of the arguments and returned value.

Parameters

  [in] | x | the first angle in degrees.
  [in] | y | the second angle in degrees.

## ◆ AngRound()

template<typename T>

T GeographicLib::Math::AngRound | ( | T | x | ) |
| static

Template Parameters

The makes the smallest gap in x = 1/16 − nextafter(1/16, 0) = 1/257 for doubles = 0.8 pm on the earth if x is an angle in degrees. (This is about 2000 times more resolution than we get with angles around 90°.) We use this to avoid having to deal with near singular cases when x is non-zero but tiny (e.g., 10−200). This sign of ±0 is preserved.

Template Parameters

  T | the type of the arguments.

The results obey exactly the elementary properties of the trigonometric functions, e.g., sin 9° = cos 81° = − sin 123456789°. If x = −0 or a negative multiple of 180°, then sinx = −0; this is the only case where −0 is returned.

## ◆ sincosde()

template<typename T>

void GeographicLib::Math::sincosde | ( | T | x,
|  | T | t,
|  | T & | sinx,
|  | T & | cosx )
| static

Evaluate the sine and cosine with reduced argument plus correction

Template Parameters

  T | the type of the arguments.

Parameters

  [in] | x | reduced angle in degrees.
  [in] | t | correction in degrees.
  [out] | sinx | sin(x + t).
  [out] | cosx | cos(x + t).

This is a variant of Math::sincosd allowing a correction to the angle to be supplied. x must be in [−180°, 180°] and t is assumed to be a small correction. Math::AngRound is applied to the reduced angle to prevent problems with x + t being extremely close but not exactly equal to one of the four cardinal directions.

## Member Data Documentation

## ◆ qd

int GeographicLib::Math::qd = 90
| staticconstexpr

degrees per quarter turn

The constants defining the standard (Babylonian) meanings of degrees, minutes, and seconds, for angles. Read the constants as follows (for example): ms = 60 is the ratio 1 minute / 1 second. The abbreviations are

- t a whole turn (360°)
- h a half turn (180°)
- q a quarter turn (a right angle = 90°)
- d a degree
- m a minute
- s a second

Note that degree() is ratio 1 degree / 1 radian, thus, for example, Math::degree() * Math::qd is the ratio 1 quarter turn / 1 radian = π/2.

Defining all these in one place would mean that it's simple to convert to the centesimal system for measuring angles. The DMS class assumes that Math::dm and Math::ms are less than or equal to 100 (so that two digits suffice for the integer parts of the minutes and degrees components of an angle). Switching to the centesimal convention will break most of the tests. Also the normal definition of degree is baked into some classes, e.g., UTMUPS, MGRS, Georef, Geohash, etc.
